Difference between jsf, servlet and jsp

The document compares three Java-based technologies used in web application development: Java Server Faces (JSF), Java Servlets, and Java Server Pages (JSP). JSF is a framework for building component-based UIs, Servlets are classes for handling requests and creating web applications, and JSP allows developers to integrate Java code into HTML for generating dynamic content. Each technology offers unique features that simplify web development and enhance user interaction.
Difference between jsf, servlet and jsp
- 1. Difference Between JSF, Servlet And JSP
- 2. ➢ Java Server Faces (JSF) JSF is a Java-based web framework. It simplifies web application development by allowing programmers to building component-based user interfaces (UIs). In addition to providing a standard of UI components, JSF also allows developers to build custom UI components through an application programming interface (API). Also, the developers can use JSF to connect the reusable UI components seamlessly with various data sources and server-side event handlers. The programmers can take advantage of JSF to simplify web application development and maintenance by using reusable components. They can even run the web framework on Java application server, and make it render UI components according to targeted clients.
- 3. ➢ Java Servlet: Servlet is a Java-based technology that accelerates web application development by providing component-based modules. The developers can further use Java Servlet as a class to extend the web server and respond to various types of incoming requests. At the same time, the Java programmers can also use Servlet to build custom web applications based on varied business requirements by taking advantage of various Java APIs. They can even use Servlet to collect user input through web forms, present records retrieved from various data sources, and generate web pages on the fly. Many programmers use Java Servlet as a faster alternative to common gateway interface (CGI). They also have option to create custom Java Servlets through the packages provided by Java EE - javax.servlet and javax.servlet.http. Java Servlet makes it easier for programmers to accomplish a number of web development tasks - reading implicit HTTP request.
- 4. ➢Java Server Pages (JSP): JSP is a Java-based server-side programming which helps developers to create web applications that support dynamic content. While using JSP, the developers can access a wide range of Java APIs according to precise project needs. They can even use JSP tags to insert Java code into HTML pages without writing additional code. The JSP components also act just like a user interface for the Java application. The programmers even have option to write JSP as text files, and integrate the text files smoothly with HTML, XML, and XHTML code. While writing web applications in Java, the programmers can use JSP as a robust alternative to common gateway interface (CGI). But the developers can use JSP tags to accomplish common web development tasks by using JSP tags. They can even use JSP as dynamic elements in HTML, for creating dynamic web pages, and collecting user input throughweb forms.
