I think that jsp 2.1 is all part of the new j2ee stuff, and has been
brought more in line with jsf (1.2). The #{foo.bar} notion from jsf
and ${foo.bar} have been aligned with unified EL (expression
language), so all those bits of code where you need a bit of room to
move can be done using jstl and the form base stuff jsf.Basically I think its the case that JSP2 and JSF will be (kind of) part of the thing, anyone who wants to create a J2EE 1.5 (I think thats the number) will need to support both. In terms of stuts and jstl,as already mentioned, you can do everything but the form stuff (html taglib). There're also nested tags to consider. Nested tags save a lot of jstl to do the same thing.
