Help me defend Struts taglibs!!!
Hi all,
Members of my team are gradually turning against using the Struts taglibs
and resorting to scriptlets.
IMHO: scriptlets bad, tags good. I've had more experience in using them
than the others, but I'm finding it difficult to fight my corner in the face
of ever increasing skepticism.
Could anyone out there with really valid arguments as to why the use of the
Struts taglibs (especially the logic tags as they're getting the most grief
from my team at the moment) or taglibs in general is "good", or why the use
of scriptlets is "bad" help me out (in the interest of fairness, vice versa
arguments also happily received!)??
Thanks in advance
Regards
David

Reuse.
Taglibs are callable routines for JSP pages.
Scriptlets tend to devolve into cut and paste spaghetti.
