No its not. Model 1 is the page centric approach in which your JSP page alone processes the incoming request and replies back to client. This leads to large amount of
Java code embedded within your JSP page, which doesn't matter for a programmer though but proves bad for the HTML designers who might maintain your page.
Model 2 represents a framework based on the Model-View-Controller (MVC) system. This system consists of a "Model" where the business logic resides, a "View" which is generated by JSP pages and a "Controller" which is a
Servlet or a collection of Servlets to provide centralized process handling. You may like to see
this for details.
