Why is it not advisable to use JavaScript in JSP? One rationale that I can think of is turning off the feature in browser would stop the code from executing. Is there any other reason behind this?

If you have many clients, then it may be a good idea to put calculations on the clients with JavaScript. If you do everything on the server, you are just going to waste the many processing powers provided by the client’s browsers, and the speed advantage of Java would be for naught if too many clients make the server busy. (Thanks to @Subtenante in the comments for pointing this out!).
But on the other side, Java running on the server is faster than JavaScript on the client, and it won’t suffer from redundant code on the client, for testing which browser the client runs.
JavaScript has its uses as trex pointed out, though. Since it runs on the client, it can for example validate form fields before sending it to the server.
