Right on, Chris. I couldn't agree more. Of course all of this stuff could
be done with scriptlets -- all of it could be done in servlets for that
matter. But that's not the point. The tags that were present in 0.92, while
maybe not fully thought out, were a godsend for the separation of logic from
presentation. It finally allows the HTMLer to stay with the team throughout the
entire development process and lets the java programmers work on the business
logic (and occasionally craft new JSP-specific beans, which I don't think
is such a bad thing).
Thanks for starting this thread. Ah feel your payne.
