What are the advantages of Servlet over CGI?
Servlets have several advantages over CGI: • A Servlet does not run in a separate process. This removes the overhead of creating a new process for each request. • A Servlet stays in memory between requests. A CGI program (and probably also an extensive runtime system or interpreter) needs to be loaded and started for each CGI request. • There is only a single instance which answers all requests concurrently. This saves memory and allows a Servlet to easily manage persistent data.
