This may be a dumb question, but can someone provide a really quick synopsis explaining WHY JSTL tags are preferable to regular JSP 1.1 tags..... what are the benefits / advantages ? To me it seems like just another software layer (XPath) to learn, master and control...... further making J2EE webdev even more complex.
So we've now got (in layers) HTML, Javascript, CSS/DHTML, JSP scripting, servlets, EJBs and now Xpath all within a struts framework.... wow. Suddenly, brain surgery....looks simple !
