Do something like this:
println (
"<html>" +
" <body" +
" <h1>HTML by println<h1>" + ...
);
When you have to mingle html code with java code, there
hardly isn't a difference in maintenance between servlet
and jsp, if done by the same person. In case ASP, there is
difference because ASP is not compiled, and reworking ISAPI
for changing presentation is a pain in the butt. (Been there,
done that). Different story for JSP/Servlet though. Also, when jsp
gets complicated, you end up writing formatting beans anyway,
which is java code just like above.

Ok, that could be another case where JSP is useful.
