Hello Guys,

I am learning java programming language. The concepts of servlets as well as JSP is very complicated to understand. I am not able to understand what are the advantages of servlets over JSP. I only know that servlets comprises advanced technique than JSP. Please let know some advantages of servlets over JSP. I would appreciate you any help over this.

A servlet is often considered during the server side.The successful initialization of a servlet determines treatment queries from customers. If a resource can be accessed, and should therefore throw an exception UnavailableException rather than block everything. When a servlet responds to a request from a client, it receives two objects: a ServletRequest and ServletResponse. During its initialization, the servlet receives an object ServletConfig, Which may for example be used to recover the execution context of the servlet

Following are some advantage of servlets over JSP:

* Fast execution and performance of some (servlets compensate for the weaknesses of CGI and seek to replace them: persistent connections and support multi-thread).

* Support programming, Java, powerful and highly oriented Web development.

* An excellent portability. They are indeed independent of the platform used.

Hi,

Servlets provide comprehensive support for managing multi-tasking server scripts, the many API proposed to access the application programs are highly complex and therefore require good programming skills. observation of a servlet code shows that it makes the Java code that represents the page and the code HTML is contained within the Java program. This feature offers performance and speed much higher than for JSP

Java Servlets are more essential to create interactive Web applications. Its is Java platform technology for to enhance Web servers. Servlets offers component based method for building Web-based applications. Servlet containers are normally a component of Web and application servers, such as BEA WebLogic Application Server, IBM WebSphere, Sun Java System Web Server, Sun Java System Application Server.

The servlet class is loaded by the container during start-up. A Servlet is nothing but class that identical to the Java Servlet API, a protocol by which a Java class may respond to http requests. The servlet container calls the destroy method that takes the servlet out of service Thus, a software developer may use a servlet to add dynamic content to a Web server using the Java platform. The advantages of using servlets is their fast performance and ease of use combined with more power over JSP.
