Web services operate on a higher level than servlets. Servlets are API which is simple and provides capabilities to write server side components.

For example RESTfull is a Web Service which contains many other "functionality" along with servlet. To deploy, we may define the web.xml as -

jersey-serlvet
com.sun.jersey.spi.container.servlet.ServletContainer

    com.sun.jersey.config.property.packages
    jersey.rest.test
