Why can't anyone learn that providing crummy examples only encourages people to create crummy applications? Most of the people out there probably try to copy/paste as much code as they can from samples like the PetStore. People who are even looking at it in the first place are looking at it as the 'Sun approved' way of creating applications. If you are really trying to educate people how to use various design patterns, then why not show them the right way in the first place? Am I the only one who sees the hypocrisy in all of this? p.s. Sun's stock price is flying at a whopping 10.84. M$ must be doing something right (at 61.84). -jon -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
