This is really cool. I've been struggling with this for a while trying to convince myself that everything that comes from SUN must be good and beautiful and that those that were ragging on JSP were just fringe loonies. I thought the whole struts tag library and tag libraries in general would shut up the non-believers by removing spaghetti code from JSP. But from experience I am seeing that people will always go the easiest route and when offered a choice between learning how to handle a new tag library API or just slopping some java code into your JSP, its the rare coder who wont take the sloppy, easier, impossibly harder to debug 2 months later approach. I think I can finally admit now that JSP is just not a clean good technology and although I have a lot to learn I'd like to move away from JSP's altogether. Simultaneous to my JSP=bad voyage of discovery I was also starting to learn Struts and saw and continue to see in Struts stuff that I have been doing on my own for a while now, done in a more polished cleaner fashion that attracts me to it. This article showing how to have the best servlet centric architecture (Struts) while cutting out the dead-weight (JSP) really hits home. I just wish they would've provided more code so people like myself who are new to xml can really get a sense of how to implement this beast.

At first blush, I am having a difficult time deciding wether this technology is totally cool, or it is just such a straightforward presentation that I am twitterpated. Thanks Todd "Todd G.
