If the jsp file get compiled into the class file(after any chnage in the file itself)
Then why it is not possible that i can run it as a servlet
I mean to say if i keep the .class file from the work directory into the classes folder then it should be
executed as a normal servlet
Why it does not happens ?

Did you configure it in the web.xml file?

why would you even want to in the first place?

I severely doubt a web container would execute a JSP the same way as a servlet, which afterall has a different class ancestry (javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet vs. javax.servlet.jsp.HttpJspPage for a JSP).
While both share javax.servlet.Servlet as an ancestor there are implementation differences.
