Hi I wanted to know how important is it to learn JSTL ? I mean I could accomplish everything using scriptlet tags in jsp (I know we shouldn’t be using scriptlets in JSP pages) . However I am planning to advance from Servlet programming (currently i am only familiar with JSP and servlets) to some other framework possibly JSF,struts or spring so will learning JSTL come in handy later.. Or is it just an overload ??

Will be handy. As with most of the frameworks you would use JSPs and JSTL for rendering views.
With Spring and other frameworks, you can also use Velocity and freemarker on the view side.
However, learning JSTL surely won’t be an overhead.
