That doesn't mean anything.  For example, it returned some hits because
of text like:

http://localhost/myJSPApp/Security/login.jsp

and

".... for virtually unassailable security. Back to top. ....
http://angels.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/ana/help/ana_help_contact_us.jsp
...."

Thanks for your quick response Mike. One reason I asked this question -
On
Google, Servlet+Security gives 258,000 hits, while JSP+Security nets
1,240,000 hits.

One reason could be that since JSPs are easier to use, and more is
written about it.

There was another reason it could be so (speculation follows). The
servlet
classes are put in WEB-INF that is only readable by server (at least
in
Tomcat).
JSPs are generally in HTML area that are easier to get to. Even
generated servlets
from JSPs land up in work directory, that may be easier to get to than
WEB-INF.
Just wondering whether this relatively easier access to source of JSPs
may be a
potential vulnerability.
