Designing Web Content is exactly what they should be doing. And since a JSP
is just glorified web content, that should be their job. But when you throw
in managing Java Beans and Java scriplets, its usually beyond most web
designers. That's where Custom TagLib's come in. It makes the capabilities
of JSP available to any web designer. You simply give them a small document
that tells them the extra tags that are available and what attributes they
understand and the web designer can go to town making the web site look
professional without breaking the scriplets. The only drawback is that the
page design tools haven't caught up with the JSP TagLib technology.
