Re: In what ways does JSP score over Servlets ?

[James & Sue Ann Birchfield]

In the short while I have been using JSP, I have found the following to be the biggest point. I can now, more cleanly, seperate the code form the presentation.  I have used servlets extensively, and have swore by them, but I hated trying to have the HTML packed up in some long out.println() method.  When ever *any* HTML changed, I had to go in and recompile.  This isn't too bad when you are the only one doing everything, but when web authors manage the pages, and a developer manages the logic classes, JSP really provides a bridge that allows great *working-togetherness*.  They can concentrate on their own talents and leave the other part to the one it belongs to.   ================================================================== James M.

Hello Frenz,                    I have gone through quite a bit of literature and information on JSPs and Servlets. I do not find very convincing as to how JSPs score any significant advantage over Servlets. I am aware  and understand the more common points where JSP does well like easy maintanence and development and also some built in tag based support for easy interaction with EJB. Besides these are there any significant gains in going for JSP/Servlets rather than Servlets.   Thanks,   Swapnil.
