JSP is not Evil .

Comments[0] by Dave in Java
I've been meaning to comment on this for a couple of days. Niel Eyde recently posted some words about JSP and MVC. Some people criticize JSP because it allows code-on-page. I understand that concern and I've got scars from dealing with frightening model 1 JSP code before, but I agree with Neil that JSP is not evil.
A frequent criticism that I hear about Java Server Pages (JSP) is that it doesn't strictly separate the presentation logic from the business logic, and there seems to be many solutions developed that aim to force this strict MVC separation. As developers, why should we depend on technology to force adherence to the goals of MVC? It is certainly possible to develop JSP pages that adhere to principles of MVC. If model or controller logic creeps into a JSP page, it our own fault. [Niel Eyde on JSP and MVC]
