I read an article on ASP+ and it seems that they work really hard to 'hide'
submitted form elements. What I mean by this is I don't like the method
used to access them. It makes submitted form elements look like C++ global
variables (ie, you aren't accessing them through an object). In my
application framework, there is a direct correspondence between the fields
of a form, the properties of a bean and a table in a relational database.
While is was a bit of effort to develop the framework, it makes a lot of
sense from an OO point of view. ASP+'s handling of submitted form elements,
while it makes for a much cleaner html page, seems really counter to this
type of development.
