What are disadvantages of servlet?

There are some problems with Servlet programming.

For non-java programmers Servlet is not suitable as they need to have extensive knowledge of Java Servlet. The presentation logic (HTML code) will be mixed up with Java code (pw.println()). Lots of coding is written inside pw.println() to write html code. Modification done in one code may affect another code. Writing HTML code in Servlet programming is a complex process and it makes Servlet looks bulky.

In Servlet programming implicit objects are there but we need to write some additional code to get them access. Modifications done in source code of servlet program will be effected only after recompilation and reloading of the web application in case of most of servers. Programmers should explicitly take care of exception handling. Servlet programming is not thread safe by default. So we need to write additional codes to make the Servlet program thread safe.
