I was thinking about the idea of a non visual JSP as a means to avoid
ever
writing servlets. A JSP page is a servlet after all. Can you think of
any
drawbacks in using this approach.
For example, let's say I have a form on a page. When I "submit the page"
(via a POST) I would be pointing to a another JSP page:
<form action="handle.jsp" method="post">
........
</form>
handle.jsp would then handle POST by the <@% method %> directive,
instantiate a database bean and pass data to the bean via introspection
and
then simply redirect itself to another page via
response.sendRedirect("index.html"). Thus handle.jsp would never be
displayed but would be doing work anyway.
How is that different than using directly a servlet to handle the POST
and
redirecting to another page????
