I cannot disagree more.
I read Craig's message and thought many of his points were valid, Model 2
provides a better control flow than Model 1, particularly if you have to have
the
same basic HTML structure for your pages, but support multiple languages. There
are reasons to recommend both models depending on what you want to do, and
having that flexibility is very useful.
But saying that scriplets == business logic is something that I cannot accept,
scriptlets are there to give you access to your business logic which is either
encapsulated in beans [which I don't like] or put in a application server layer
(ejb/corba). Just like
a normal gui application requires logic to deal with its user interface, and
interact
with business logic, so does JSP.
Scriptlets were not, are not, and will never be "bad".
