Thread: why we shift Servlet to JSP ?

What is the main reason to shift Servlet to JSP ?

I found one reason, that is "Easy to edit the coding in JSP not Servet".

At present developers mostly used servlet of jsp.....plz clarify this one.

JSP doesn't give you anything that you couldn't in principle do with a servlet. But it is more convenient to write (and to modify!) regular HTML than to have a zillion println statements that generate the HTML. Plus, by separating the look from the content you can put different people on different tasks: your Web page design experts can build the HTML, leaving places for your servlet programmers to insert the dynamic content.

read some notes here ..

Servlets and JSP: An Overview

Thanks buddy.....its really helpful to me...

The primary goal of JSP is to replace Servlets because of few reasons:
> to reduce development cost, and also burden of the jsp developer to write most common statements like package declaration, import statement,
class declaration and life cycle methods etc..
> in jsp no need to implement the life cycle functions like init(), service() and destroy() method.
> jsp presents dynamically retrieved data from the different layers of java web application development.

See the basic difference is that:

In Servlet
----------
You have to code whole HTML into ur java....

In JSP
-------
You are to code Java inside HTML

Well everybody knows that the latter is much easier than former.
