Hi Henke-

This is probably not what you want to hear, but I've always felt the best
way to learn JSP is to learn Java first and try to forget what you know from
your ASP days.  Once you understand OO concepts and how they work in Java,
and how to write Java servlets, JSP becomes a very natural extension to what
you already know.

In contrast, trying to write JSP as if it is ASP will just lead you to very
bad habits, such as embedding business logic and SQL code in the JSP rather
than abstracting them away.  So if you can afford to, I recommend that you
at least start by learning how to write basic Java classes, and then
servlets, and then JSP.  Even better, read up on the J2EE framework and how
all the pieces fit together--that will give you an idea of why it's bad to
write JSP-heavy applications.  The learning curve may be steeper but it's
worth it.

Any JSP gurus out there with a different viewpoint?
