IMHO the main difference is that jsp is focused on designers/presentation,
and that servlets should be focused on strictly server-side issues - it's a
lot easier to add presentation logic to a jsp than to a servlet, and it's a
lot easier to design a flexible, upgradeable, maintainable servlet.
As an aside, how do people go about developing jsp's? My main process so
far has been:
1. Think about what output I'm expecting
2. Code a jsp with lots of java code inside to acheive this
3. Check the output conforms
4. Start removing code (refactoring, if you like) to tags
5. Check again
(I'm obviously ignoring the main system design here - the
serlvets/beans/db/etc. that supports the jsp.)
The main problem with this (as I see it) would come in a situation where
the designer was distinct from the coder. For those of you in this
situtation, how do you get round this?
Happy Christmas (or insert your own favourite festival here) to all!
