Mixing JSPs and HTML (I)

[Carl Crosswhite]

What is your advice about developing web applications with JSPs?

Should ALL pages be JSPs? or would a mixture of JSPs and HTML not get (some)one
into trouble?

There is no problem mixing JSP, HTML and servlets into the same
application, so you can use whatever makes the most sense for
each page.

A plain HTML page will typically be served very slightly faster than
the same page as a JSP. On the other hand, if every page on your site
has some common navigation, you may want to make every page a JSP so
that you can use a jsp:include, and keep the navigation contained in a
single file. This makes changing and maintaining a site very easy.
