Introduction Servlets have long been a cornerstone of Java-based web development. However, as web technologies have evolved, several alternatives to Servlets have emerged, offering various features and paradigms that suit different development needs. This article provides an overview of these alternatives and discusses their strengths and applicability in different contexts Understanding Servlets Servlets are Java programs that run on a web server, acting as a middle layer between a request from a web browser or other client and the server's response. Despite being a powerful technology for building web applications, Servlets can become complex when used in large-scale applications. Let's ... Read More

Both Servlets and JSP are used in web development. The Servlets handle the logic (processing our requests and interacting with databases), and JSPs handle the presentation (displaying dynamic content on the web page). By separating the logic and presentation, our web applications become more manageable and scalable. In brief, we can think of Servlets as Java programs that run on a web server. They work as the middle layer between a request from an HTTP client (like a browser) and databases or applications on the server. When we send a request to a server, the Servlet processes that request, and ... Read More
