Why do I need it?

     Because it is hot on the market worldwide. Look at the following advantages:

Advantages of Servlets

  • Efficient: threads instead of OS processes, one servlet copy, persistence
  • Convenient: lots of high-level utilities
  • Powerful: talking to server, sharing data, pooling, persistence
  • Portable: run on virtually all operating systems and servers
  • Secure: no shell escapes, no buffer overflows
  • Inexpensive: inexpensive plug-ins if servlet support not bundled

Advantages of JSP

  • Vs ASP: better for dynamic part, portable
  • Vs PHP: better for dynamic part
  • Vs pure servlets: more convenient to create HTML
  • Vs SSI: much more flexible and powerful
  • Vs JavaScript: server-side, richer features
  • Vs static HTML: dynamic features
