JSP programming with Tag Libraries like Struts.

Hi friends,

I've been programming in JSP, JavaBeans for the last 1 year. However, with the current popularity of Tag Libraries & concepts like MVC, Struts am thinking of using these in JSPs. Even though I am not totally convinced about the real advantages like "No Java code" in JSP pages bcoz normally anyway most of the Java Code is done in the Javabean where my Business Logic is present.

If any of you have previously worked on Tag Libraries please would you advice me whether it's worth it and which books & material would be best for these.

Thanking you in advacnce.

Cheers

Sanjiv

Based on my experience with using JSP tags, I would definitely strongly recommend them. If nothing else, application/project specific custom tags go a long way in facilitating development-time productivity and code maintenance.

And ofcourse, with JSP tags you get the added advantage of the JSP container maintaining pools of instantiated tag objects so even the runtime performance is helped.

The book Web Development with Java Server Pages by Duane K. Fields, Mark A. Kolb from Manning Publications has helped me a lot about JSP tags.

Sun's tutorial http://java.sun.com/j2ee/tutorial/doc/JSPTags.html is also good.
