Answer / rajashree
Both use server-side Java to dynamically generate web
pages. The source code to a JSP looks like HTML, with Java
embedded inside funny tags (*); the source code to a
servlet looks like Java, with HTML embedded in out.print
(...) statements. Both use the Servlet API to communicate
with the web server and the client. In fact, a JSP gets
compiled into a servlet, so they're almost identical in
terms of expressive power. The choice is, whether you're
more comfortable coding your pages in Java or in JSP-style
HTML; and since you can call a JSP from a Servlet and vice
versa, you don't have to make an either-or decision.
