There's no way to force someone to use a tool the correct way.
However, I think EL is a good example of how to force someone to use
the tool incorrectly.
Instead of a simple
#{backingBean.viewMethod(viewDependentVariable[s])}", you now have to
perform horrible convolutions and tricks to accomplish the same thing.
Velocity is a good example of this. It doesn't encourage putting
logic in the view, but it doesn't make it impossible to have
presentation logic either.
