Yeah I think youre right on one level....that JSP is more directly comparable to XSLT than Struts...except I was also referring to Struts' declarative tag syntax for logic. Earlier in the thread we were talking about how it is beneficial to make the presentation template declarative syntax only. That is something where Strut's tag libs are more comparable to XSLT....but ultimately I suppose tagLibs are a part of the JSP spec though so ... alright fine....you are right. ;-)
Nonetheless, it is interesting to know that Struts does not explicitly dictate use of JSP. So the controller is maliable enough (without having to pick through the open source code to change stuff) to do a transformation rather than a forward? That's interesting to note.

Struts) As Joe said, Struts doesn't mandate JSP. A more appropriate comparison will be JSP vs XSLT In this regard, both are scripting-oriented languages. Performance aside, I believe the selection is a matter of preference. At 07:28 am 05-09-2002, you wrote: >Alright, so if the purpose of Struts and ASP.NET is: > >1. To seperate code from content >2.
