Why JSP and Servlets are still important for Java developers

Honestly, I don’t get why no one really talks about JSP & Servlets in the Java community anymore. I mean, Spring itself is literally built on top of the Servlet API yet most Spring Boot roadmaps don’t even mention learning them. Even if you’re not going to use them directly, understanding how a request is built and processed can really help when you’re debugging or trying to understand what’s happening behind the scenes. What do you think? #Java #SpringBoot #SpringFramework #JSP #Servlets

Had a sneaky bug recently that made me go through some of the servlet API’s code to find the root cause. Even though we might never have to go there while building applications with Spring, it’s always a good idea to understand the building blocks of the « modern » frameworks we use everyday.
