What is the Exact difference between the Servlet And JSP

Answer 1

A JSP is a special kind of Servlet that is edited in a HTML-like syntax and compiled into Servlet byte code by a web container (usually at deploy-time or when first accessed).

JSPs can contain complex Java code, however that has been considered a bad practice for the last 8 years or so, so JSPs will usually only contain

• HTML
• Custom Tags
• Expression Language

(Judging by the age of the above links you can tell that JSP is not exactly cutting-edge anymore)
