An old Java technology hand and new Enhydra partisan, the author urges developers to consider alternatives to JavaServer Pages (JSP) servlets when choosing an approach to coding Web applications. JSP technology, part of Sun's J2EE platform and programming model, serves as a solution to the common dilemma of how to turn drab content into a visually appealing presentation layer. The fact is, Web developers aren't uniformly happy with JSP technology. Since many variations on the Sun technology are now available, you can choose from a number of presentation technologies. This article takes an in-depth look at JSP coding and explores some attractive alternatives.
Presentation technology was designed to transform plain ol' raw Web content into content wrapped in an attractive presentation layer. JavaServer Pages (JSP) technology, Sun's presentation model and part of the J2EE platform, has received significant attention. There are both advantages and disadvantages to using JSP technology, and Web developers should be aware of the good and the bad -- and know that they don't have to be limited to this single technology. In fact, these days a number of presentation technologies are available. This article begins by defining the problems presentation technologies were designed to solve. It then examines the specific strengths and weaknesses of the JSP model. Finally, it introduces some viable alternatives to Sun's presentation technology.

作為一名 Java 技術(shù)老手和新的 Enhydra 擁護(hù)者，作者力勸開(kāi)發(fā)人員在選擇設(shè)計(jì) Web 應(yīng)用程序的途徑時(shí)，考慮一下 JavaServerPages (JSP) servlet 以外的其他方法。JSP 技術(shù)是 Sun 公司的 J2EE 平臺(tái)和編程模型的一部分，是為解決如何把單調(diào)的內(nèi)容變成引人注目的表示層這一難題而提出的解決方案。實(shí)際上，Web 開(kāi)發(fā)人員也并非一致對(duì) JSP 技術(shù)表示滿意。既然現(xiàn)在有 Sun 技術(shù)的多種變體可以使用，所以您可以在許多表示技術(shù)之間進(jìn)行選擇。本文深入探討 JSP 編碼技術(shù)，并探究幾個(gè)有吸引力的替代方法。
表示技術(shù)設(shè)計(jì)用來(lái)將平淡的拉丁文原始 Web 內(nèi)容轉(zhuǎn)化為包裝在有吸引力的表示層中的內(nèi)容。JavaServer Pages (JSP) 技術(shù)，作為 Sun 公司的表示模型和 J2EE 平臺(tái)的一部分，受到了極大關(guān)注。使用 JSP 技術(shù)有利有弊，Web 開(kāi)發(fā)人員應(yīng)知曉這些利弊 -- 懂得他們不必拘泥于這一技術(shù)。實(shí)際上，近來(lái)出現(xiàn)了許多表示技術(shù)。本文以表示技術(shù)所要解決的問(wèn)題為開(kāi)端，然后考察 JSP 模型的特有優(yōu)勢(shì)和弱點(diǎn)。最后，介紹幾個(gè)可以代替 Sun 的表示技術(shù)的可行方案。
