I think this is the final argument that wins many of the problems people
have posted here. There has been a thread concerning whether to provide
thread-safe abilities into the servlet engine for sessioning; I think we
should, especially if non-programmers are the ones using JSP; they
shouldn't have to understand difficult thread models to use our beans in
their JSP code! Another long-standing thread concerns scriptlets vs.
tags; I think tags wins out for non-programming users. There has also
been discussion of how embedded properties (i.e.
somebean:someproperty:another property) should be kept. I think they
should, since they are easier than using scriptlets for non-programmers.
By the way, why were embedded bean properties dropped for the 1.0 spec?
Are you guys working on a better way of doing this for 1.1?
