A quick reply to the original posting. As a background, I am the lead of the expert group that did JSP 1.0 & JSP 1.1. Comments are intermixed below. I think there are at least two interesting threads that were started by this message, and I'll reply to them in separate messages.

A JSP gets compiled into a Servlet, so no more than a Servlet does, and actually JSP allows for specialized implementations that could be faster than a plain Servlet for some specific pages. The implementations are just starting to appear, and some of them are reporting very good numbers for JSP pages. > * Does JSP overload the client ? No; see above. > * Is really useful for small web sites (whith static data)? Some of the implementations are claiming JSP performance that is very close to static pages. > * Does anybody know any technical FAQ or mailing list? The JSP pages have some useful information but you may have already read them. One of them is a FAQ that we plan to extend with more technical FAQ.
