Java EE (Java Enterprise Edition) General Discussion

Hi,

I work at a marketing company and here we still use Classic ASP, and now we're starting to learn and implement JSP on our projects.

We managed to get things working just like we do in ASP, however with just that I don't see any advantage at all, it's just that we currently are doing exactly the same thing we do with ASP, a form sends the user input to a code-page, we get all the parameters, insert/delete/update the DB, and return the user to another page. Everything's the same, except the language syntax that changed.
So this is what I'd like to ask, what are some common "best practices" of using the JSP technology?

As someone who's just started on JSP from ASP, what are the practical advantages?
(One of the advantages - or actually the only one I can think that really saves some time are the Beans)

Any sources/tutorials are welcome.

Thanks,

Daniel
