The BSF web-site currently states that:
"In order to use BSF as part of the Tomcat servlet engine, you must
currently download patches from the BSF web site that permit Jasper to call
BSF. Instructions for this will be posted on the website, and will soon be
accompanied by prebuilt binaries. We hope that these changes will be merged
into Tomcat in the near future."
A brief check does not show anything about BSF being supported by Jasper,
yet, in either Tomcat v4.1 or v5.
I also suggest that the <scriptlet> and <expression> tags remain useful.
They let you write a particular piece of code in a language well suited for
that particular task. For example, what if I wanted XSLT for the page
language, and something else for a particular scriptlet or expression?

We did that internally for our JSP compiler back in '99. I thought
that got contributed to Jasper, but I could be wrong.
If it hasn't then definitely that's a worthwhile thing to do IMHO
as it allows any BSF language to be used to write a JSP.
Does anyone know for sure whether Jasper uses it or not?
