It is *entirely* possible that there are webapps still running out there that are done completely with Servlets. No JSP, no Struts, nothing but (IIRC) out.println( "bunch of html here");
Struts did not always exist, and since JSP's get compiled into Servlet code, they had to come after Servlets, indicating that there was a point in time when there were only Servlets. Even if the Servlet & JSP specs came out together, it's entirely possible that the original author was more comfortable writing straight Java and avoided JSP for that or some other reason.
I can remember those days too, Wendy. We developed and most people, I think, developed their own frameworks no unlike Struts. I have to admit that Struts is better than the one I used, but very, very similar. I had one framework we used that just had:
<%= Process.process(request) %>
on every page (other than the import). Lots of fun inventing in those days. Everyone seemed to be working in the same direction though, viz. toward something like Struts. This is what is a lot of fun even today about Open Source for me, watching the Velocity and similar ideas crop up. I like the way that Bruce Tate takes such a high level (50,000 feet) view of it all.
