Yes, I think there's no reason why you should implement your application hand-coding a servlet for each "command" you need. There are several frameworks around the web that you can use... Apache Struts, JCorporate Expresso (that now is integrated to Struts) and others. Personally, I'm developing some applications using my own framework, that consists of taglibs (I don't use scriptlets at all), special classes to handle your "commands" (or "actions" in Struts), database abstraction layer, etc... I personally like to make one by myself, even if just for fun (and to learn how to do it), but mainly because of time constraints probably you'll need some of these frameworks found in the web.
