The problem with JSP is that it does not have if , then, else, nor loop nor goto the later some may think that is a blessing. Yes, I know what JSP are supposed to do however if you attempt to do any resonable complex html pages the JSP model breaks down quickly which I guess that is were one starts "throwing" things into beans. DOM is nice for an engineering staff where a set of widgets can be coded up to help in the deployment of html or dynamic html. A nice thing about DOM is that is a standard and apparently a nice API .
