Hi
I just wrote a brief article about this.
http://www.jspinsider.com/articles/jsp/intrototags.html
A quick hash of some of the pros / cons
The problem with tags are:
-An initial extra up front cost in building the tags.
-An additional overhead in processing the tag.
-Adding some complexity to certain operation where
scriptlets would be easier.
The benefits that tags have:
-Reusability
-Easier to maintain pages and have other people use same page.
-Easier to expand and change functionality without changing
existing pages
-Expand JSP
-There are some things you can do in tags YOU CANT achieve with
scriptlets
-Better than templates for maintainability
-Easier to move code from project to project, vs scriptlets which
dont move as well.
This is a very quick list and the benefit list goes on and on,
but its 1 am I need some sleep, check the article for more details...
