Sorry to all if my tone seemed harsh. This is just the 3rd thread I've seen in the 2 weeks or so since I've joined this email list bashing the very technologies we use in jakarta. I saw one saying Java sucks, another saying Java is dying because Sun won't release it open source(or something of that nature) and now this anti-J2EE/EJB-your a moron if you use it-thread. It seems to me that if I joined a list that pertains to jakarta java, J2EE type technologies then I wouldn't post messages bashing the very technologies the group exists to support. For example, I wouldn't join a Microsoft ASP technical forum to bash Microsoft or ASP.
This is just why I would like to see the discussions center around supporting jakarta projects and not on the merits of them or their underlying technologies. I apoligize to Aaron for jumping the gun as to his character and using inappropriate language in this forum. I use it a lot outside of here though. And I enjoy it. I have a lot of problems with Java/J2EE/EJB/etc.also. I just don't think this is an appropriate forum. thanks, Mike PS: I got some good responses pertaining to jakarta projects. Thanks to all. I've written a ton of code, in addition to the persistence layer, that I plan to put on source forge. >From: "Aaron Smuts" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Reply-To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >To: "'Michael Lee'" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Subject: RE: EJB = bad = MS.net >Date: Sat, 23 Feb 2002 21:37:38 -0500 > > >Hi: > >I wasn't trying to be political at all.
