Two other reasons to consider using <jsp:getProperty>:
- <jsp:getProperty/> is already syntax compliant with XML. Some apps generate
and/or parse JSP pages as XML and this becomes important.
- Although nearly every implementation of JSP so far has used Java as the only
scripting language, this is not required. The <jsp:getProperty> tag is independent
of the language you are using for scripting, but scriptlets are not.
