Servlets and JavaServer Pages

  • Java Servlets
    JavaTM Servlet technology provides Web developers with a simple, consistent mechanism for extending the functionality of a Web server and for accessing existing business systems. A servlet can almost be thought of as an applet that runs on the server side -- without a face. Java servlets have made many Web applications possible.

  • JavaServer Pages
    Web developers and designers use JavaServer Pages technology to rapidly develop and easily maintain information-rich, dynamic web pages that leverage existing business systems. The upcoming, next release makes JSP technology even easier to use.
