hah forget the 'purist' approach!
I use jstl / struts taglibs whereever possible.
if i had a choice between writing my on taglib or scriptlet.... for me
scriptlet wins - much less hassel, and the code is there for you on the jsp,
and it's only normally for very simple things.
The main times i use scriptlets are for stupidly simple things that appear
to have been overlooked with el/jstl:
<% pageContext.setAttribute("linefeed", "\n"); %>
Because you cant use \n in el for search and replace strings.
Other use is for copying static final variables to the page context (how no
one spotted this before el was finalised i will never know? or am i missing
somthing?)
