Hi Dan, Dan says... > is a much better architecture. I think so too. > SUN decided to not explicitly describe past the 0.92 spec I don't know if the original JSP 1.0 spec didn't talk much about it (I suspect it did not), but I added an explicit section about this in JSP 1.1 because it is such a useful architecture. See Section 1.6.5 and 1.6.6 in pages 32 and 33. Also see slide 31 (or so) in the WebLayer talk that we posted recently (http://java.sun.com/products/jsp/pdf/talks/WebLayer.pdf) and in the TagLib talk (close by). > Trying to do everything in JSPs is certainly not a good idea JSP is a language, and it is possible to use it in different ways. It is possible to use it to implement a front component (/conversation control/whatever it was called in Model 2, I forget), and that is what the APM team did. My initial personal inclination would have been to write this component as a servlet that is reading some XML description of the conversation, but their approach is not unreasonable and worth exploring to understand what can be done with the JSP language. I think the APM team is revisiting their structure to incorporate what they have learned and to exploit better tag libraries, I do not know what will they do with their conversation control. > But IMO, whether you use a template language or > Java like syntax for the dynamic aspects of a web page, I don't see much > difference.
