Java servlets..

Linux Magazine in this article writes:


The disadvantage of Java Servlets is that they don't provide, by default, a good separation of program logic and presentation, since statements that output HTML are intermixed with the application logic, making maintenance difficult. One solution to that problem is the Velocity template engine, a Jakarta project (http://jakarta.apache.org/velocity).

What baloney.. I've done this for a living for a while now and there is absolutely nothing in the servlet design that prevents an easy separation of the application/logic layer from presentation. It's all about programming style.. I wish some authors would do more research and less whining.

Just fired them off an e-mail about that.. and that means I'm really annoyed!
