Polymorphism enables you to define one or more methods to have the same name but difffering in number of parameters and method types.
If we do not have polymorphism in Java then we cannot overload methods.

Polymorphism enables the method overloading property of Java through which you can overload a method with the same name but with the different number of parameters or types(data types) of parameter.
One more thing only return type alone is not efficient for the method overloading.

Polymorphism in simple terms means one name many forms. Polymorphism enables one entity to be used as a general category for different types of actions. The specific action is determined by the exact nature of the situation.

Polymorphism exists in three distinct forms in Java:
• Method overloading
• Method overriding through inheritance
• Method overriding through the Java interface

The basic reason behind polymorphism is that we can implement different behaviors of the same object depending upon the reference type passed to an object.
In case of static polymorphism(Method OverLoading) we can give a different flavors of the same method which gives a flexibility of different inputs. You can have an example of value of method of java.lang.String class, which takes any data type as an input, so in this way we can use same method for variety of inputs, which reduces naming conflicts and makes code more maintainable.

jdbc,servlets,jsp have come through polymorphism,if not there we have to remember all dependent classes related to DB,Servers...to use in our java coding

This is method overloading. Polymorphism enables method overriding not overloading. Method overriding means use of same method with same name, parameters and return type.

Polymorphism means one thing in many form. or one person different behavior is called polymorphism.

We have different behaviors in different situations and in front of different people. A man behaves differently with his father, when he is with his friend he has different behavior.
Another best example is println(). it is prints different data type value.

Hence Polymorphism means single name and many forms.
