I've done quite a bit of work creating tools that can be used rapidly for jsp/servlets. I have form validators and language tags that replace struts stuff (so you don't have to reload the whole app when you change something.. instead things just work when you refresh the page) I have a default struts action that calls a bean shell script depending on the path and that helps a lot too. I've noticed that that type of development just doesn't seem to be too popular in the Java world though. You're right, there doesn't appear to be any reason that things have to take so long with Java to develop, but I can't quite figure out why there isn't yet a good ActiveRecord type framework for Java yet. (The ones started have gone nowhere and don't seem to have much support.)
Well, that probably isn't any help at all, but if you have any specific things you're trying to work on I've probably written something within the past few years that I could share thoughts on. -Dennis (Things I've been up to lately involve python though :) ) > > ~ Ross > > /* > PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net > Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug > Don't fear the penguin. > */ /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
