JSP's are basically inverted servlets, and were created because of the amount of pain involved in spitting out what was bascially boilerplate html.
We used helper classes back then to do with Servlets essentially (in principle) what is done with JSP today. In fact, JSP IS what we were doing in a different way with Servlets at the time. I am not sure even today that JSP is such a good idea even as a solution to the Servlet problem. I like some of the things we invented as well, if not better.
