Re: beans and JSPs and stuff...

Brad Stone asked:

   Or is JSP really an advantage?

One advantage someone pointed out to me was that it would
be fairly easy, with a JSP-based design, to have a multi-language
strategy.

You know what I mean, I trust:  The kind of site where you
push a button or a link and it takes you between the English,
French, and German (etc.) version of the web site.

This depends a little on what the Java "widgets" do,
but one could imagine that if the "widgets" mostly did
custom imagery or simply rendered data bases in tables
and like things, that one could have virtually all the language-dependent
elements in the JSP, managed by web-designers (or, at least
those with minimal programming skills) and the rest done by
the Java programmers, largely in their own language.

Thus, JSPs could largely if not entirely isolate the whole
"national language" question from the programming source,
proper, which everyone wants.

BTW, Javascript means that many web designers have a minimal
understanding of programming -- enough to deploy a JSP, I would
think.
