this is done in Rails' .rhtml views as well

it is possible to insert ruby scripting in the view, but frowned upon

Anyways, my biggest concern with Rails is if it ponies up when I need to write a more complex application. I would rather not have to do trial and error to find that out because right now I am "framework fried" after trying both JSF and Tapestry and finding they both caused just as many headaches as

the time I was expecting to save.

For what it's worth, none of my green-haired kids (young Java experts)
are big fans of frameworks.  From their experiences, frameworks are
great for simple apps, but you wind up fighting the framework for more
complex apps.  At their recommendation, we do plain-old Model 2 JSP,
and we keep scripting in JSPs to an absolute minimum.  They'd rather
write HTML in the servlet and pass it along to the JSP than do Java in
their JSPs.  Seems reasonable to me.
