An Http Server is not necessarily associated with Java at all – e.g. Apache Web Server. It generally serves HTML and other static content, but can do more.

Servlet Container - manages deployed servlet and JSP lifecycle – e.g. Tomcat, Resin etc…

JSP Engine – usually refers to the tool that compiles JSPs into servlets – e.g. Jasper.

Also most servlet containers have a JSP engine - e.g. Tomcat, Resin etc.
