It's not a Holy War, Brad, and just because you "can" do it in CGI doesn't mean you should. That's the attitude I've tried to counteract throughout all these discussions - people telling other people to use a substandard tool. You can pound a nail with a screwdriver, but that doesn't make it the right tool. And me saying that you should use a hammer doesn't make me a zealot. CGI has its uses, but they're not for interactive applications. You cannot do in CGI the same things you can do in JSP without a lot of extra infrastructure. If your application is more an output-only application - data mining or something equivalent, it's easier to do in CGI. If your application involves a lot of interaction with the user, similar to 5250-based applications, then the flexibility of JSP makes it the better approach.
