The difference is that that 4 lines has to be repeated *for every project*. Yeah, /usr/local/etc/apache/conf.d is a lot more complicated. But I only need to do it once, and it works for every application. The thing is, I can write stand-alone servers with Unix tools as well. They're a bit longer than the clojure version, but they still require no external configuration, and just the language processor. I mean, make is a nifty tool for doing builds, but I don't bother with make files for single-file programs or programs that don't need to be built. I'd be much less happy with it if it if I was required to use it for such simple things - which seems to be where the java world is. <mike -- Mike Meyer <m...@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/consulting.html Independent Network/Unix/Perforce consultant, email for more information.
