Got your back... :) One way to 'defeat' it is being able to innovate faster and support user requirements rapidly as change in the J2xE specs seem to be rather slow moving. For example, you won't be able to iterate in JSP in a spec-compliant way until 2005 or something... Think about that - that's something like 6 years after you could do it in WebMacro, on which Velocity was modeled. Anyway... Now that you can (well, soon) legally implement JSR47's, you might was well support their interfaces and semantics, and then 'embrace and extend'. Just do the JSR47 stuff better :) geir -- Geir Magnusson Jr. [EMAIL PROTECTED] System and Software Consulting "We will be judged not by the monuments we build, but by the monuments we destroy" - Ada Louise Huxtable -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
