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
because JSP internally changes in servlet and then follow servlet life cycle, so it is slower than servlet
Servlet is more faster than JSP, but JSP is more convenient than Servlet and JSP is clearly superior, shorter, simple and easier to use. JSP can be perceived as Java in HTML code. JSP require no explicit compilation as like servlets and can keep in the web application server as HTML file. The web application server in turn compile the java code in JSP and load it in its library for future execution. Servlet can be perceived as HTML in Java code. The servlet is the class file, which would be loaded in the web application server as a program. The program output will be directed to the outstream object which in turn direct to the client as HTML elements.
I think the name of the jsp file is included in the web.xml of the servlet
Both are similar to one another technology wise and finding out which is faster is not possible. Ideally speaking a JSP once compiled and deployed in a web server behaves like a servlet.
I have created a .jsp file, in which, I am calling a class.method() through TagLib. REQUIREMENT is, I want to call a servlet instead of a simple class. And Servlet will get the response, and request object from Jsp, and manipulate that, and produce the response object, and control is transfered back to JSP again.
JavaServer Pages (JSP) are translated into servlets by the JSP engine during the compilation process. When a JSP file is requested for the first time, the server converts it into a servlet class, which involves converting JSP tags and expressions into Java code that adheres to the servlet API. This generated servlet is then compiled into bytecode and executed, allowing dynamic web content to be served. Subsequent requests utilize the compiled servlet, improving performance.
Because the doGet is the work of the Servlet and not the JSP
Depends on what you are doing, PHP does somethings Faster than JSP and in reverse.
A JSP is typically oriented more towards displaying information, and a servlet is more oriented towards processing information. For example, a JSP might display a report, while a servlet would process a user submitted form. These uses are not exclusive, but they are optimized more for performing tasks in this manner. It is much easier to incorporate HTML coding into a JSP than a Servlet. It is also easier to write more complex Java code in a servlet.
A JSP gets converted into a Servlet for execution and hence the methods in a JSP are similar to the ones in a Servlet.Scriptlets and Expressions will end up in the body of doGet or doPostDeclarations will end up as instance variablesjspInit() and jspDestroy() will get translated to Servlet's init() and destroy() methods
To move data from a servlet to a JSP, you can use the request object to set attributes. You can call request.setAttribute("attributeName", data) in the servlet to store the data. Then, use request.getAttribute("attributeName") in the JSP to access that data. Finally, forward the request to the JSP using a RequestDispatcher, like request.getRequestDispatcher("yourPage.jsp").forward(request, response).
To retrieve data from a JSP to a servlet, you can use form elements in your JSP to collect user input and submit it to the servlet. When creating the form, ensure to set the action attribute to the servlet's URL and the method attribute to either GET or POST. In the servlet, you can access the submitted data using the request.getParameter("parameterName") method, where "parameterName" corresponds to the name attribute of the form input elements. This allows you to process the data as needed in your servlet.
