To get a sense of what JSP 1.1 is about, play with XML to JSP
transformations using the existing tools (with some tweaking to handle the
less-than and greater-than characters). Wow. The whole scriplets/tags argument
could be rendered moot with JSP 1.1 once XSLT, or some variation thereof, is in
place. With 1.1 you should be able to hide all scriplets behind custom tags, if
that's what you want. Better yet, you could conceivably maintain your pages in
XML and deploy on either ASP or JSP, depending on the XSLT transform. You would
need both COM and Bean implementations for your objects, but that's conceivable
too.
Aside from Cocoon and OpenXML, are there other initiatives
that dynamic content generation folks should be aware of?
