>jsp pages automatically gets converted to servlets.
Yes, Tomcat (or whatever you are using) sees the JSP tags that your page uses and translates them into Java code to put into the servlet. But, the reverse is a different matter. I am not saying it is impossible, just that it would be very difficult. rrz
It would be easy since you only have to put the code in <% and %> except for the imports for which one has to put the <%@page import tag.
Although I wonder why would anyone want to do that?

If someone makes use of the servlet properties, it better be left as servlet. I am only making assumtions which make sense if someone wants to convert servlet into jsp's for some very specific convenience and this is gonna be easy task for that.
If it is to be developed into a full fledged tool, i too agree lots of things will have to be taken into account.
