But then you get a combinatorial explosion of "best practices" and strange configurations which people will ask us to help them debug. Oh, and I've already got a "convention framework" where I can build whatever conventions I want.... It's called Java. Frameworks are about limiting choices along specific axis to provide structure and value. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Posted via Jive Forums http://forums.opensymphony.com/thread.jspa?threadID=39339&messageID=78103#78103 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
