Hi everyone,

I would like to know what the difference is between Java Servlets and JSP? Since JSP gets compiled into a Servlet, why don't we just write a servlet to begin with? Why do you prefer JSP over Servlets? Thank you.

This gets asked a lot (a real lot) here.

Try searching both this and the JSP forum with keywords "Servlet", "JSP", "difference".

Quick mind exercise: you have a big complicated page with lots of HTML markup, JavaScript and Ajax calls, CSS style declarations, and other markup.

Do you want to build up and maintain all that in Java strings?
