And as you might expect it can generate Java code and
place what table has a value in front of Bean. Or something
more elaborate:

<%
   generator.bean.Column col=new generator.bean.Column();
   col.setTable(tab);
   col.list();
   while (col.next()) {
%> private <%=col.getType()%> <%=col.getName()%>=<%=col.getNullConst()%>;
<%
   }
   col.close();
%>

The above iterates through the columns of the given table,
and the generates variable declarations.

Scriptlet in JSP is an antipattern.

You calling this an anti-pattern motivated me to go and see what
Wikipedia had to say about anti-patterns:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-pattern. And as far as programming
anti-patterns go,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-pattern#Programming_anti-patterns.

What's rich is that at the beginning of the article they hand out some
rules for what differentiates anti-patterns from bad habits, bad
practices or bad ideas. Then they trot out a plethora of supposed
anti-patterns that completely violate their own definition.

I don't know when we passed into the zone of inanity with this entire
patterns business, but it couldn't have been more than a year or two
after GOF came out.

No reflection on the intent of your observation, Lew: scriptlets in JSPs
are generally a bad idea.
