While it does allow you to do <jsp:forward>, that doesn't help your servlets any. For example, when writing servlet/jsp software I use the RequestDispatcher.forward() method to pass parameters from my servlets to my JSPs (separate logic, data, and presentation). However, since the servlet-2.0 spec doesn't allow for this, my servlets can't do it.
