The difference is mostly in the intended audience for the two
technologies. To write a servlet, you must be familiar with the Java
language and be able to write and compile a Java program. To write a
JSP, however, you simply need to be familiar with HTML. JSP syntax is
designed to be similar to HTML so that its easier to learn. Before its
served to a web browser, a JSP page is automatically compiled into a
Java servlet so it can do just about anything a servlet can do.
