Brad Stone asked:

   Or is JSP really an advantage?


JSPs is a good way to leverage n-tier development concepts by allowing the
presentation people to concentrate on HTML, the busness rule people to
concentrate on the business rules, and the DB people to concentrate on the
DB back end.  HTML can be changed without changing the code and vice versa.
HTML folks can alo learn a little about beans and can put together dynamic
pages without the need for hard core programmers (except to build the
beans).  In this tight labor market, JSPs allow me to hire specialists I can
cross-train.  Today, we have a staff of experienced RPG programmers...  my
legacy environment is so screwed up that when one leaves, I can only hire
experienced programmers.  With n-tier (and JSP), I can hire a HTML jockey
and teach some Java.  Everyone wins: the company has access to a more
available labor pool and developers have the opportunity to expand
skillsets.

In a nutshell, I'm using the technology as a competitive advantage for my
department.
