long before server pages or servlets existed i was writing these C++ template based systems with CGI so i could do my best to separate content generation from programming logic...
i'm a consultant and this company made me lead on my first JSP/Servlet based project, i was really excited to get involved with JSP tag libraries. but when i got into the code base IT'S ALL .jsp files with TONS of Java scriptlets! it's nasty. if/else blocks several hundred lines long. the developer i took this over from thinks there is no reason to do it any other way. tags? why use tags? i am asking for input/references on why you want to keep the scriptlets <%> </%> out of the JSP files. every time i try to make a point-- maybe i'm just not being eloquent enough... on another note: is it really model 2 if a JSP is processing the request? i don't think it is, even if your entire JSP is just some java code wrapped with a scriptlet tag.. (yuk). thanks for input. --Michael -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
