There's alot of stuff we can do ourselves, but doing so also means having to maintain both code and documentation. Isn't that one of the reasons we choose to use 3rd-party code (read: webwork) in the first place? Because it a) provides functionality not _absolutely core_ to what one does b) has a tried-and-tested codebase c) has well-documented code and good documentation d) gets maintained all at _no additional work on your part_ other than initial integration effort. >Why do you keep wanting to tie WebWork to other projects so badly? >This is the second time I've seen you wish for extra dependency (the >url above was expressing your desire for using JEXL as core WebWork, >and your message now is for FormProc for form validation...) If you re-read the threads, you will find that I neither asked for Jexl as part of core (I was throwing the idea of using Jelly around), nor did I ask for FormProc for form validation (Jason mentioned it). I was interested to know the rationale behind the decision to develop another form validation framework. Besides, feel free to ignore me since you seem intolerant of my curiosity...:-) Kelvin -------- The book giving manifesto - http://how.to/sharethisbook ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: FREE SSL Guide from Thawte are you planning your Web Server Security?
