Servlet was designed to be used as an Interface to be implemented on any protocol.

GenericServlet is an Abstract class and you can extends it for most of your protocol dependent fuctionalities.

HttpServlet is another Abstract class and is implemented for HTTP protocol.

Technically Servlet supports most of the commonly used protocols

JSPs are servlets. Please use only one thread per question.

Stated like that, this is really not correct. The request/response architecture of the servlet API limits it to those protocols that can reasonable be used that way, and many common protocols just can't. In practice, no servlet implementation exists that supports anything but HTTP/HTTPS and -more recently- SIP.
