How do I reference a JSP in a Servlet

Question

I have a jsp file that contains all the html and javascript that I want for my website.

Is it possible for me to create a servlet and then have the servlet reference the jsp file (instead of putting all the html into the servlet)?

Maybe something along the lines of:

protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {
  //initiate jsp file
}

All you need is as below :

ServletContext context = getServletContext();
                 RequestDispatcher dispatcher = context.getRequestDispatcher("/thankYou.jsp");
                 dispatcher.forward(request,response);

or else you can set welcome-file also as jsp page in your web.xml if you dont need to instantiate Servlet first.
