Hi,

I have no worked knowledge of JSPs but I would advise you to check out
AxKit (if you're willing to do some mod_perl developments) at
http://www.axkit.org/ (although it has been down lately) and available
on CPAN. There is also Cocoon, with version 2 on the way
(http://xml.apache.org/cocoon2/index.html), and it's in Java. These two
XML publishing framework might well make your life easier if you're
planning on using XML on your website. I haven't used Cocoon but AxKit
is well impressive.

By the way, there is an article comparing JSP and XSP (included in
Cocoon and AxKit) on
http://www.onjava.com/pub/a/onjava/2001/02/22/jsp_servlets.html .
