The template tags in the Struts library seem a bit pokey, but there's a
lot going on there (reads one file, then merges from another). I don't
think alot of applications actually use these tags much.
I believe that any JSP is suppose to compile down to a single servlet
class file. The custom tags are just alternate ways to call
subroutines.
If you check your work directory, you'll see that a number of automatic
Java files might be generated for a given JSP, but they resolve to a
single class.
Struts is also fine with distributing precompiled JSPs, which can
eliminate the cycles it takes the container to check to see if the JSP
needs to be recompiled.

Hi
What do you think is the over-head in using struts
tags in terms of performance? ( all tags in general )
And let us say we use a template for a page which has
a header, a side bar, a footer, a content. Each of
this gets commpiled into a class and thus a single
page is converted into a set of classes ( r these a
set of servlets )? Doesnt it slowdown when compared to
a single servlet just outputting the stuff???
Thanks
