GSP allows you to embed java right in the html. Like this:

<html>
<head>
 <title>This is a test</title>
</head>
<body bgcolor="#ffffff">
  <h1>Date Test</h1>
  <!-- you can place imports anywhere on the page.. 
       we recommend you place them near the top :-)  -->
  <java type="import">java.util.Date</java>
  <java>
      Date d = new Date();
      out.println("The current date is: " + d);
  </java>
<p><hr><p>
Did you see the date?
</body>
</html>

So it is similar to <servlet> tags, but you do not have to write as
much code. A servlet is great if you need to do a 1 shot output of
data. GSP allows for embedded java and html code where the logic of
java can dictate the output of the html.
