1) The servlet execute on the address space of the web server .It is not necessary to create a separate process to handle each client request

2) servlet are platform independent because they are written in java

3) The java security manager on the server enforces a set of restriction to protect the resource on a server machine

4) All the java libraries class are available to a servlet.It can communicate with applets,database,or other software via the sockets.

What are the advantages of using servlets?

Benefits of using Servlets for developing Web Applications:Servlets are an integral part of any J2EE Web application. The key benefits of using Servlets in our web applications are:a. They are faster than CGI scripts because each CGI script produces an entirely new process that takes a lot of time to execute, whereas a servlet creates only a new thread.b. Servlet API is standard and available easily on the internet (like JSPs)c. Servlets have the advantages like ease of development & platform independence (like Java)d. They can access all the J2SE and J2EE APIse. Can take the full advantage & capabilities of the Java programming langauge


What are servlets and what are their advantages on their contemporaries?

Servlets are modules of Java code that run in a server application (hence the name "Servlets", similar to "Applets" on the client side) to answer client requests. Servlets are not tied to a specific client-server protocol but they are most commonly used with HTTP and the word "Servlet" is often used in the meaning of "HTTP Servlet".Servlets make use of the Java standard extension classes in the packages javax.servlet (the basic Servlet framework) and javax.servlet.http (extensions of the Servlet framework for Servlets that answer HTTP requests). Since Servlets are written in the highly portable Java language and follow a standard framework, they provide a means to create sophisticated server extensions in a server and operating system independent way.Advantages of Using Servletsa.

How are jsps betten than servlets?

JSPs can contain HTML, JavaScript, XML and Java Code whereas Servlets can contain only Java Code, making JSPs more flexible and powerful than Servlets. However, Servlets have their own place in a J2EE application and cannot be ignored altogether. They have their strengths too which cannot be overseen.


Can you use jsp and servlets together?

Yes, JSP (JavaServer Pages) and Servlets can be used together in a web application. Servlets handle the business logic and processing of requests, while JSP is used to create the user interface and generate dynamic content. Servlets can interact with JSP pages to pass data and control the flow of the application.

Why servlet is faster than jsp?

The speed difference is not usually significant, but the slight performance advantage goes to Servlets because, JSPs get converted to Servlets before execution and since Servlets do not have this conversion phase, they are a little and I mean only slightly little faster than JSPs
