hello,

JSP is Java code embedded in HTML; the Java code is compiled (if necessary) and run by the container on the server and the client only sees the results of that code's execution mixed in appropriately with the html.

Servlets are compiled pure Java class files (not mixed with HTML) that get posts from the client and send html to in return.

but both reqiured container on the server, such as Tomcat.

Hi,

JSP technology extends the basic Servlet framework to enable easier and faster page authoring and maintenance in larger enterprises.

One difference between JSP and SERVLET is first time when we call jsp it will take time to respond , since server has to convert jsp to servlet and execute the component.

JSP is mainly used for presentaion logic only. But servlet can handle business logic also.

The main difference between servlets and JSP is servlets can supprot any type of protocol like SMTP, FTP.. But JSP supports HTTP protocol only
