Ask HN: Write application using simpler parts of Java EE (JSP, Servlets, etc.)?

Will I be a laughing stock if I write an application using good 'ol JSP, Beans, and Servlets? Perhaps even throwing a bit of EJB in there?

No. If you like Java, use Java. There isn't anything more wrong with java than is wrong with other programming languages.
