There are a number of various approaches:
JSP - Which is similar to ASP in that you embed code and HTML
together.
WebMacro and FreeMarker - Which use templates to generate your HTML.
This is the approach that I use coz it keeps presentation seperate from
logic.

Not really, at least not if you are going to stick with a web based
approach. Maybe someone else has more input on this one.
