At Qwest we are using templates... HTML files with placeholders for data
${MY_PLACEHOLDER}. We store the template in memory and then insert the data
into the template and display it to the user. The advantage is that our
HTML code doesn't appear in the Servlet. In addition, our Java code doesn't
appear in the template... so we've cleanly separated the Java code from the
HTML.
What is the advantage of using a JSP over a Servlet that uses templates?
As far as I can tell, there is no advantage... we've actually done a better
job of separating code and presentation logic using templates. Can someone
give me a concrete example of when JSPs might be better than a Servlet that
employs templates?
Thanks,
- Robert =)

1. JSP's are really servlets when comes right down to it.
2. Do you really want to create a large-scale browser-based
application composing all the HTML in out.println() calls?

Hello Frenz,
I have gone through quite a bit of literature and
information on JSPs and Servlets.
I do not find very convincing as to how JSPs score any significant
advantage over Servlets. I am aware and understand the more common
points where JSP does well like easy maintanence and development and
also some built in tag based support for easy interaction with EJB.
Besides these are there any significant gains in going for
JSP/Servlets rather than Servlets.
Thanks,
Swapnil.
