There are old technologies and scriplets are hacker meal. Code in JSP are hard to maintain and you will not isolate your code from your view.

Impossible to test and convoluted as well.

Using JSP as anything other than a view is discredited with good reason.

Let's turn the question around. What's the advantage of using a JSP for Java code when it's easier and clearer (and less error prone) to write Java code in a Java class?
