Paul,
I got the Netscape Developer letter in my e-mail yesterday, and was
surprised to find how friendly they are toward JSP -- plugging it as vastly
superior to ASP and, even, better than their own what-is-it? JSDSSSP? I
forget.
Maybe we're seeing a standard emerging. But hark! According to IBM, JSP
isn't stable yet. Translation: IBM have their own set of bean-tag styles
that they want to add to the JSP standard, stuff that already runs on
VisualAge for Java 2.0 with rollup 2 and the EAB add-in, and hence with the
forthcoming VAJ-3, and which they'd be happy to see spread around the
industry in general.
The IBM proposed add-ons are a little bit kludgy, but may have their place.
The idea is to make bean-tags look just like XMS/HTTP tags, so that graphic
designers won't get hung up on them, even as code-writers go off and put all
sorts of hairy beans behind them. Then all the tags would have default
values which would run on a browser even if the beans aren't written yet.
The idea is that the graphics folks don't have to wait for the code folks,
and the code folks don't have to... you get it. Seems like good sense to me.
Cheers,
-dlj.
