[OT] Re: JSTL and JSF
i felt the same way long time ago when Struts tags could not do
everything i wanted to, and i felt the need to use (brace yourself)
scriptlets.
but then i discovered JSTL and it's great mainly because its
EL-friendly.
now my Struts tags live happily together with JSTL tags, they are like
best friends! :)
why can't JSF be best friends with JSTL?

They can play well together. However, features exist by default in JSF tags
such that you basically don't need JSTL. We don't use any JSTL throughout
our entire application (well over 500 different JSP pages).
