JSPs are just servlets. With servlets there's a marginal amount of performance saving since the JSP model does some initialization for you (getting session, servletcontext). It also uses an array to point to the hard-coded (HTML) source that has slightly more overhead then other data structures.
With servlets you could some of the speeding up (setting class as final) of the language that you couldn't with a JSP. The actual rendering that you are probably doing through JavaBean calls would remain the same speed though. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Campano, Troy" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, October 16, 2002 3:55 PM Subject: Are servlets faster? Are servlets faster at displaying data? If I want to display large amounts of data on a page, are Servlets faster then JSP in displaying the data? Or does it matter at all because JSPs are turned into Servlets when the app server compiles them? what are your thoughts? thank you!
