 
JAVA SERVLET
Comparing Servlets with Other
Technologies
In functionality, servlets lie somewhere between
Common Gateway Interface (CGI) programs and proprietary server extensions
such as the Netscape Server API (NSAPI) or Apache Modules.
Servlets have the following advantages over other
server extension mechanisms:
- They are generally much faster than CGI scripts
because a different process model is used.
- They use a standard API that is supported by many
web servers.
- They have all the advantages of the Java
programming language, including ease of development and
platform independence.
- They can access the large set of APIs available
for the Java platform.
