C#/.Net has some things that are definitely worth considering: #1) Can easily use C++/C#/J#/C libraries without having to do odd imports. I.e. it is language neutral without the overhead of CORBA #2) The attributes/delegates functionality of C# is very powerful. The Avalon team has been looking into mimicking that functionality in Java. We have support for Delegates (of a fashion), but the attributes are more difficult. BTW, Attribtutes are the key to successful and predictable AOP (Aspect Oriented Programming). Can Cocoon work with Windows/Solaris/AIX/AS400/Linux/put your JVM here? Yes! And that is its biggest strength. However, there are other things that we might want to do where Java limits us. -- "They that give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." - Benjamin Franklin --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
