Why is that important, again?
JSP is a system comparable to .NET. Yet, the mentioned practice is
perfectly legal in JSP. The CPU doesn't blow up or anything. Seems to
work just fine.
I don't know... I've heard *A LOT* about how ASP.NET is supposed to be
"backwards compatible". How does THIS fit into that?
Yes, it's backwards-compatible, as long as you never have code blocks and
html blocks. Heh.
I think it was a bad move to do this. One of the reasons JSP came around
was to combat the annoyance of having to out.println() every bit of html
in servlets.
Maybe I dont' understand the importance of making it look like a
programming language before compilation.
