Hi,
I've noticed that when working with JSPs, I don't have all of eclipse's
services available. For example, when I search for references to a method
(in the entire workspace), I don't get references in JSPs where the method
is invoked. Another example is when changing a method's name through
refactoring - the method's references in JSPs are not updated.
Is this intentional?

I've posted questions like this before, and the answer I got was along
the lines of "scriptlets are bad, you shouldn't be using scriptlets".

HTH,

Why are they so bad and what is the alternative to using them?

Scriptlets in JSP are bad because it's messy to mix HTML and Java code
in the same file, and because of the risk of including business logic
in the presentation layer.

The alternative, if you use JSP, is to use taglibs. Another alternative
is to not use JSP at all, use some other presentation layer template
technology instead, e.g. Velocity (http://jakarta.apache.org/velocity/)
or LSP (http://sourceforge.net/projects/lspx).

(This is not an Eclipse issue, it's a general Java web app design issue.)

Not at all. If you're finding that there are problems, ensure that
all of your JSP files have been saved to disk. If you still have
problems, please open a bug report against the JSP component (see
below) and include exactly which WTP build you are using. Please
try it with at least 1.0.2 or higher.
