RE: JSP and MVC (newbie question)

Okay, based on the various responses I have received,
it sounds like there might be testing and debugging
issues, less control over deployment, and less ability
to take full advantage of Java by using JSPs as
controllers.

That's the kind of info I was seeking.

Thanks for everyone's responses.
