Steve,
my story is very similar to yours, but I am happy ;)
I also moved from JWS to Apache/JServ and now (after Sun release the specs for
jsp1.0), GNUJsp. GNUJsp is not a released product (you may want JRun if you want
something "released"), but I am very happy with GNUJsp.
It is important that you revise the "specs" for jsp 1.0 (see
http://java.sun.com/products/jsp/index.html) because a lot of things changed from
0.9x version to 1.0.
On another note, I think you should avoid a lot of business logic on your jsp
pages, i.e. try to use jsp to display information only that were rendered by a Bean
e.g.
The only thing I can tell you is that if you are using GNUJSp, you should get a new
CVS update -every day- , since those guys are working around the clock to catch-up
with 1.0 and a release is put for download every 2hrs......
Did you try to run your pages against Sun's JSWDK1.0? I found very useful for
testing....
Good luck...
