They are used for different purposes these days, JSPs for view part (front end of the application) and the Servlets for controll logic.

In simple worrds, HTML code inside Java is Servlets and Java Code inside HTML is JSP..

Servlets and JSP's are complementary. A servlet is a Java class that extends javax.servlet.Servlet. A JSP is actually compiled into a Servlet when the page is run. There are advatages and disadvantages of both of these API's and web applications tend to contain a mixture of the two. Hope this helps.
