I am familiar with Creating and consuming Web Services using .NET/PHP, but not familiar with Java Servlets.
Are they just equivalent to creating Web Services using .NET?
No definitely not, standard definition: a servlet is a Java programming language class used to extend the capabilities of servers that host applications accessed via a request-response programming model. Servlets are not tied to a specific client-server protocol but they are most commonly used with HTTP and the word “Servlet” is often used in the meaning of “HTTP Servlet”. Whereas a web service is programmable application logic accessible via standard Web protocols such as SOAP using XML.
