Servlet	JSP
Servlet is a java code.	JSP is a html based code.

Servlet can accept all protocol requests.	JSP only accept http requests.
In Servlet, we can override the service() method.	In JSP, we cannot override its service() method.
In Servlet by default session management is not enabled, user have to enable it explicitly.	In JSP session management is automatically enabled.
In Servlet we have to implement everything like business logic and presentation logic in just one servlet file.	In JSP business logic is separated from presentation logic by using javaBeans.
Modification in Servlet is a time consuming task because it includes reloading, recompiling and restarting the server.	JSP modification is fast, just need to click the refresh button.
