In JSP there is a feature pretty similar to <servlet> called <jsp:include>,
which can include the output from a servlet (or another JSP page) into the
current response. If you use <jsp:include>, the original request is passed on
to the included servlet, so you can see what it's request URI, servlet path, and
so on were set to.
JSP also has the advantage of being a specified portable standard, instead of
just a feature of some servers. It will be supported on pretty much any servlet
container that supports version 2.2 or later of the servlet API.
