Also I am interested in the maintenance aspect. What if the HTML developer sends the Web App developer a revised version of the screen with additional input fields? -Srinivas

You certainly can pick and choose which pieces you want to use. You can use the tag library without a thought of using the controller servlet. However, which would you rather write? <input type-"submit" name="submit" value="Login"> or <html:submit value="Login"/> The tag library (in many cases) isn't used because it provides functionalty you can't write youself, but because it makes it so much easier to write the same things you can write yourself. ... at least that's what I gather. Don't let me be the final word - I'm just a lazy developer that likes cutting what I have to type in half =) Other opinions?
