I would think you'd run into that possibility with either Struts or JSTL. Our designers love JSTL because it's succinct and a bit more obvious in what object.property you are working with. But it's sometimes up to me and other engineers to steer the designers away from bad practices.

While I can see that JSLT is more powerful, isn't it true to say that it encourages breaking with the view-controller demarcation? I find the struts tags on the other hand, used with zero scriptlet tolerance, forces you to do all the work in your action servlets. I'm open to views against mine, and I also wouldn't dismiss the advise of the folks who developed struts, but whenever I read "use JSLT" it seems to me a step backwards.
