The reason to have your whole site as JSP (and this question should probably be
asked on JSP-INTEREST and not here) is that you don't have to worry about your
session being forgotten when traveling into .html pages. Every page can refresh
it, switch to URL rewriting and so forth.
But more importantly, the JSPs offer you ways to simplify administration and
update process of your site. You can have one JSP for the disclaimer to be
included in all JSPs. One JSP for other things that repeat.
You can say that you'll achieve this with PHP and/or Perl but using JSP allows
you to add backend servlets in future to help you make the site more and more
dynamic with a possibility to have content distributed in databases, pulled and
assembled into pages by servlets. The direction you'll go will be influenced by
what the site you're developing is supposed to do. But, I dare say, that there
aren't too many things that the JSP can't lend themselves to. Whether it is a
newspaper with distributed content or an online bank.
