I mean - I know what good and bad is - I choose good. It's kind of like when I was in college and one of my peers said something about arrays in C not having bounds-checking. This came up because there was a BOOK teaching people that ARRAYS IN C START AT 1! LOL What it comes down to is knowing your tools, knowing how to use them to the best of your ability, and being willing not to compromise on things that "really matter". Scriplets in JSP, IMHO, really matter - they don't belong there. I'd rather have JSPs than have the overhead of having to dynamically translate XML into something else for each request (that _is_ how it works, right?) Just use them "correctly" and there's no issue :-) This is why organizations have policy - to enforce things like this. Make a policy :-) Peace, Eddie -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
