A JSP is designed to serve a single page. A servlet can serve lots of
pages. (A JSP
can serve multiple pages too, but it's a bit more awkward.)
JSPs which have much Java code in them are hard to read. It's better to try
to restrict
JSPs to HTML and custom tags.
It takes longer to get a JSP to compile and run than a servlet --
there's more scope for dropping an angle bracket, mistyping a custom tag,
missing
the closing tag, and so on, and some of these errors aren't caught until you
try to
run the JSP.

Subject: JSP Vs Servlet
Hi All,
I have a basic doubt. I would like to know in what way "Servlet" is
advantageous over "JSP".
I feel I can do everything in "JSP" that can be done in Servlet.
Is there anything which can't be done by JSP and can be done by Servlet?
Thank you
Ganesh
