The <jsp:scriptlet> and other similar tags are used in the "XML view" of a JSP
page. This syntax was optional in JSP 1.1 (and is not supported by Tomcat 3.x),
but is required by JSP 1.2 (and is supported by Tomcat 4.0). Some syntax
details have changed between 1.1 and 1.2 -- you will want to download the JSP
1.2 spec from:
http://java.sun.com/products/jsp/download.html
to see all the gory details.

One place to start on architectures is the Struts project at
http://jakarta.apache.org/struts
There are also many useful links about tag libraries (including a tutorial) at:

For Tomcat 4.0, the source distribution has a few documents and diagrams in the
"catalina/docs/dev" directory.
