hi  vikas

        This ws a question which was asked to me in an interview.I didnot knew abt the second pt, but i told the first one.i.e  servlets are faster than jsp.
I told the reason too that .jsp files are to be converted into .java( JSP  life cycle).But then interviewer told that (and rightly so)that should l occur only once, since once .class file is formed then both JSP and servlets are equally faster?
Is there any other reason y servlets are faster

Also plz explain the sec point!

bye

Hi vmshenoy,

Sevlets are slighty faster than JSP...

Ultiamtily a "JSP" will be converted as a sevlets by the "JSPC".

A JSP Compiler(JSPC) uses a set of rule for genrating the servlet code, so the JSPC adds some amount of additional code to the servlet  which may not be required in some cases. If a servlet is developed manualy, the developer knows what is required and not required, so the developer eliminate code that is not required.This is the ression why a servlet develope manualy perform slightly better than servlet genrated by "JSPC".
