RE: beans and JSPs and stuff...

So, what's the difference between me compiling a servlet and the system 
copmiling JSP?  Well, obviously I do less work but JSPs are still compiled
and when they change, they are compiled.
---------
Among other things, I don't have to have a Java compiler on my desktop to make 
changes to the JSP.  Just a text editor, or the web tool of my choice.  I 
really don't have to know any Java, other than the syntax of calling a method, 
to use JSP.  I change the JSP and "compile it" by hitting refresh on my 
browser.  To change a servlet, I have to know how to extend a class, what the 
doGet and doPost methods do, how to output to the browser, and so on.

Are you really saying that editing a JSP and changing a servlet are the same 
thing?  Because if you are then I am doing a very poor job of explaining the 
concepts involved.  JSPs require nearly zero Java knowledge.  Servlets require 
a lot of Java knowledge, starting at how to edit and compile a Java application.
