title: JSP and MVC Best Practices
body: <p>I am new to JSP programming and am writing a web app for a family member. As I study, I hear a lot about how JSP's are supposed to be used for presentation and servlets are for business logic. My question is basically about how far that goes and when my use of JSTL would be bad practice. Here's an example: I have a login page for my app, and I am using c:if's with custom functions connected to my java classes to process the form. Would that be considered poor MVC practice or, since I'm only referencing my logic code from EL, is this a legitimate use of JSP's?</p>
