This is an interesting question to which I don't have an answer. However, I
would like to ADD to this question. How about Cold Fusion, it works in much
the same way, in that there are several tiers which seem to replace the need
for servlet technology all together. If I want to acess DB data I can use
Cold Fusion to do this for me. Is there any way(or reason) to use cold
fusion in unison with servlets or use servlets INSTEAD of Cold Fusion?
Speed, Security, functionality?
