The pattern you describe makes perfect sense to someone who understands object oriented programming, and design patterns, and appropriate mechanisms for reuse. It makes *no* sense at all to people whose initial exposure to programming was VB, or some scripting language like PHP or PERL. What's an "object"? What's a "class"? For that matter, what's "reuse" (because their definition is "cut-n-paste')? Now, guess how many people in the world understand object oriented programming, and appropriate reuse, and all of that, versus the people that are struggling to write their first non-"Hello World" application in Java. It amazes me how many people have gone through this struggle and actually succeeded, using Struts as their crutch. It saddens me how many others of these people find the picture you describe as too complicated to understand, and therefore give up on Java as being "too hard." That's an audience I care about supporting; there's lots of frameworks around that do a great job for O-O geeks (and many of them do it much better than Struts, mostly because they came second and not first, but better nonetheless). There are basically no frameworks in the world that a developer familiar with a scripting language will feel comfortable with out of the box. > > Jack > Craig --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
