scriptlets tend to be ad-hoc, slap-together and
not consistent across all JSPs.
performance-wise, i'm unsure. i'm don't have enough
experience in JSPland to know the subtle details, but
i'm definitely sure that taglibs can be tuned whereas
scriptlets would have to be handled one-by-one.
just my $0.02 though. i really believe that most java
code should vanish from JSPs. it's a separation of
church and state sort of belief... why should UI guys
have to know any java?
also, of interest, is the jakarta taglibs project which
has a very interesting XSL taglib which seems to have all
kinds of potential when thinking about XML...
i think craig contributed to it, so there must be some
struts interest in its functionality.
