I have no problem being convinced that tags should be used for generating complex items on a web page. The one concern I do have, relative to using tags, is the extra processing required to generate simple things. I have seen pages in industrial environments where the page may have 50-100 elements displayed (and no this is not a problem with the design this is a real application requirement!). Using a tag to generate labels and text input boxes seems like it would add a significant compute load on a server that is servicing 100's of people. The same situation applies when you are dealing with pages with fewer elements, but are being served up to 1000's or 10,000's of users.
Does anyone have experience about computing resources required by tags in these types of scenarios? bob ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sarah Farrell" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Struts Users Mailing List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, February 11, 2002 9:48 PM Subject: Re: help: <%>.. how do i convince them to learn JSP? > > Michael, > > Here's the best one I could find. > http://java.sun.com/blueprints/guidelines/designing_enterprise_applications/ > web_tier/qanda/index.html > > There are some other ones on java.sun.com if you search for "JSP presentation > logic separate". > > Here's another one: > http://java.sun.com/products/jsp/ > > > > P.S.
