Hi, Steve, I totally agree with you.
Using JSP, it is very easy to lose sight of the MVC pattern when development is under release pressure. I have seen people putting JDBC database code directly in JSP because it is lot easier to do and so to meet development deadline. Afterwards, that page with all the java code inside it was too long and ugly to be even debugged. Not proper used, JSP pages are a maintenance nightmare. Also I should say the possibility that JSP is not properly used is very high.
