Hi All,

I very often come across this question of why we have got lots of web frameworks addressing the same or similar drawbacks.

when looking deeply, i also have given thought on why JSP / Servlets is not being used after the other web frameworks (like Struts, Spring MVC etc) have shown their existence?

Is it because, the latest web frameworks

does most of the things on its own?
provides extensive features that is not available with Servlet / JSP?
or the Servlet / JSP is impotent to deliver what latest framework does?

Any help in the form of responses or resources is greatly appreciated.
