Thread: Difference Servlet & ASP

I am learning java programming language. In which the servlet concept is going on. I want to know the difference between Servlet and ASP. Both these use for the similar use and having similar functionality. I have referred different books for this problem; but I am not getting proper solution. Thanks in advanced.

The benefit of ASP is that it can be used with different scripting languages like VBScript or JavaScript. The file is a file asp html developed in which one includes scripts. Every of these scripts are framed by tags: <% And %> to separate other tags of ASP. ASP means active server pages; this term means not much except that it highlight the active character and dynamics of a page written.

Servlet need a JVM to run. So it is required to have a JVM, an engine that implements the Servlet API Servlets and probably a Web server. These different components involved in the delivery system Servlets help in a well determined. The JVM can be connected in different ways the Web server that handles requests from the user; this depends on the type of solution selected. In this case the addition of Servlets in the Web server is important.
