It seems to me that unless you are using custom tags or want to develop
them to define a templating engine. Someone like the one in the J2EE
blueprints and therefore reuse pages etc. Moving to JSP won't buy you
anything. It certainly won't help you get data from the database any
better and IMHO that isn't the job of JSP anyway. You could use JSP to
plug in bean objects that are populated from a servlet. So create your
beans your Data containers in a servlet and then use RequestDispatcher and
throw these across to JSP. This will save you a lot of printlns ... As for
form parameters the same thing with servlets is available in JSP.
Take a good look at Jakarta struts for a way to bind form parameters to
data beans.
