Difference between Servlet and JSP

• Servlet

  A Servlet is a Java class which is used to extend the capabilities of servers that host applications accessed by means of a request-response model. Servlets can respond to other types of requests too.

• JSP

  A JSP is a text document which contains two types of text: static data and dynamic data. The static data can be expressed in any text-based format (like HTML, XML, SVG and WML), and the dynamic content can be expressed by JSP elements.
