Actually this is not the case,
Yes they are very closely related but there are differences
The two that come to mind are:
JSP output writer is set up for text output, which means
if you want your JSP page to output binary, it really is not
up to the job and you should use servlets.
Tag libraries only work with JSP and not with servlets.
There are quite a few other differences, but
for most things JSP is my perferred tool over servlets.
As I find JSP pages easier to create and maintain.
