The current situation is that JSP 1.0 engines are _not_ required to support
the XML syntax. Even if they do support it, they are not required to
support XML syntax like <jsp:scriptlet> anywhere but in documents that are
entirely XML-format.
The leading JSP webserver vendors can speak for themselves. But if you want
to stick to the standard and write portable documents, don't use XML
syntax.

Subject: which one to use XML syntax v/s JSP syntax?
Author: Sanjay Gulabani <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> at Internet

I have been playing around with JSP 1.0 reference implementation and
JSP specification provides alternate XML syntax to JSP syntax for
writing Java Server Pages,
eg. XML syntax
<jsp: scriptlet>
register.processRequest(request);
</jsp:scriplet>
vs JSP syntax:
<%>
register.processRequest(request);
<%>
also <%=> in JSP versus in XML <jsp:expr> </jsp:expr>
My question is which is meant to more preferable way? Are JSP engines
going to support both (is it mandatory).
What are the trade-offs, if any?? I prefer XML than the JSP syntax (for
simple reason that jsp syntax is less readable to me) What are leading
JSP-compliant webserver vendors going to support?
Thanks,
Sanjay
