Never used it, but it appears to be similar to JSP, though a servlet
container wouldn't be required to implement support for it, since it's
not a standard. I'd guess adding support for it is pretty easy :-)

Does JAXB or your marshaller implement the servlet spec? If not,
then no, or at least nothing good will happen :-)
The separation of concerns in the MVC pattern appeals to me. The
less low-level plumbing I have to deal with, the better. YMMV.
