I did it a little bit back, but it could have been on Dev list. I believe that currently my obvious toolset would be:
JSTL, Log, Regexp, String. [also Iterators in the sandbox by its description] Each of these are generic enough to be something I'd expect to be available to me in any JSP page, and I'd expect them to be complimentary. The nightly String build does allow EL-ization. Doing the same for Log and Regexp is on my todo list. The next set are the overlapping [which to all extents and purposes I believe will be overriding and see no more development on the Jakarta taglibs]: Application DateTime DBTags I18N Page Request Response Session XTags While they may have functionalities not in JSTL, it's a typical example of a weaker standard being better than a stronger proprietary solution. Next there are the alsoUnique set, which I interpret as being outside the scope and range of a web designer's normal usage [which is JSTL's scope]: IO JMS Cache Benchmark BSF Mailer Scrape Generally I view these as being a way of handling small programming tasks in the JSP rather than hidden away in Java. I would not expect these to be in a JSP environment but would expect them to be architectual choices. Bear in mind that I'm only actively involved in 2 of these tags [I wrote String and I maintain Log]. There's also some work underway into a JUTL to complement JSTL [unstandard instead of standard] which may pull the pieces of functionality that the deprecated [someday] taglibs had that JSTL doesn't. Tim O'Brien has added an instanceof and ignore-case-equals tag to it and I'm working on a couple.
