RE: JSP and MVC (newbie question)

["Bartell, Aaron L. (TC)" <ALBartell@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

JSF (JavaServer Faces) does just that!  Aside from it's custom tag
library (say JSP tag lib), and the tooling IBM has built for drag and
drop UI development, it has a life cycle that it goes through that
implements many features of MVC.  Check out this tutorial to learn more
about JSF:

barcia.html

This describes the lifecycle:

Subject: JSP and MVC (newbie question)

This is a newbie question about JSP and MVC. 

Since JSP is a scripting language to create servlets, why not use JSP to
create controller servlets in MVC? 
A JSP does not have to contain any HTML/XHTML tags at all.  It could
contain 100% JSP tags and Java code.
Using this kind of JSP for controllers would eliminate the need for the
developer to compile code and allow greater flexibility where
controllers are stored (servlet class files must be in the WEB-INF
directory, but JSPs can be stored anywhere). 

However, I'm not experienced at Web development, and there's probably
many things I'm not considering.
Please enlighten me.

Thanks,
Kelly
