    I was on the JSR for v1.0, so I know a little bit about it.

    It's really, really easy to use: it uses pretty strong separation of the parts of MVC-2, i.e. you describe the UI in the JSP using the tags, and bind these to the backend using the VBL (value-binding language - similar to JSTL but using # instead of $), so you really define your UI and your data access separately.

    One thing, though. Using tooling generally automates this stuff, so get hold of some tools that allow you to drag & drop onto your page.
