Re: My ECS Tutorial

[snagy]

I personally don't use ecs directly in servlets.  I have one app that uses
ecs to generate transformations from xml/xslt to html/rtf/wml, and I use
ecs as a tk layer for a scripting servlet to the java impelmentation of tcl
for generating the gui portion of servlets in an older app.  ECS definetly
has its uses and there is a time and a place for it, but it is always best
to figure out an abstraction that seperates presentation from logic,
personally i have a couple of abstractions that do this, as I mentioned
some of them above, and I continue to add to and refine ecs in hopes that
others find it as useful as I do.

If you are doing servlets, we have learned that ECS really isn't the right
way to do them. The right way is to use Turbine + a template language such
as WebMacro, Freemarker or Velocity.

I'm not saying that ECS isn't useful, I'm just saying that it definitely
has
a "place".
