2. WHAT IS JSTL
• jstl is stand for javaServer page tag library
• JSTL is the standard tag library that provides
tags to control the JSP page behavior.
• JSTL tags can be used for iteration and control
statements, internationalization, SQL etc.
3. Disadvantage of jstl
• There are few disadvantage in jstl
1. Overhead
2. Not as Extensive as JSP Scriptlet
3. May Seem Burdensome for Experienced
Programmers
4. Overhead
Large JSP files that make use of JSTL will
generate a great deal of overhead code. This
means that more server processing power is
required to run JSTL based sites than pure JSP
Scriptlet sites.
5. Not as Extensive as JSP Scriptlet
• JSTL is not flexible.
• JSTL code is a new programming language that
is not nearly as java itself.
• JSTL does not allow access to the number of
classes.
6. May Seem Burdensome for Experienced
Programmers
If a programmer is already familiar with java,
JSP Scriptlet is not terribly hard to learn. This
can make the equivalent JSTL code look larger
& more complex.
