This week's book giveaway is in the Agile and other Processes forum. We're giving away four copies of The Mikado Method and have Ola Ellnestam and Daniel Brolund on-line! See this thread for details.
Hey, Ranchers - I'm new to J2EE. I have about three months to get familiar with the technology enough to take over maintenance of Web programs for a state agency. At the risk of sounding too much like a beginner, would anybody share with me where Servlets are more or less advantageous than JSP? Or do they work together? It seems to me that Servlets offload processing from the client, and that JSP delivers the data for the client to process/display. Am I getting warm? Thanks!

No you're not getting warm... A JSP is a servlet that gets compiled. You might start with Marty Hall's book. I think you can download or read online the old version for free. Or the J2EE tutorial will get up to speed. HTH

essentially JSPs have (Java) Code embedded within the HTML Servlets generate HTML code from a pure Java program

In MVC Architecture, servlets are usually responsible as Controllers and JSPs are responsible as Views... What you understand as the following is correct too...

I agree. Here's the link: http://ej-technologies/jprofiler - if it wasn't for jprofiler, we would need to
run our stuff on 16 servers instead of 3.
