(jumping right in here...)
I won't speak for Steven, but I feel the JSP is flawed for several reasons:
1) It seems to be a direct response to ASP; an attempt to garner the support of ASP
programmers and not really address the problem. <M$-BASH>Futher, ASP (on which JSP was
based) was designed by Microsoft. Artificats of that design show up in JSP.</M$-BASH>
2) The whole point of a template system is to allow the clear seperation of business
logic and presentation. JSP allows to two to be coupled tightly. In fact, I would say
(from the lazy programmer point-of-view) the JSP encourages the tight coupling.
3) When I look at template systems, I want to be able to use templates for HTML, DHTML
with SSL, perhaps plain text reports, maybe RTF, etc. These formats should all be
supported (or possible) from a template systems. JSP does HTML, period.
