I appreciate your writeup and just couldnt help agreeing with you. I think
the future lies in using servlets and xml-xsl.
Servlets can always be reliably and efficiently used to generate xml data
and then based on users browsers, the servlet can transform it to HTML or
allow browser to apply xsl(only IE 5 supports that as of now). This has the
advantage that u can use XML and XSL DOM to manipulate the display on the
broswser itself without requiring a server hit. e.g. u can search/sort the
data on the browser itself..... a feature which everyone wants but none
could provide till a few days back.
Also another GREAT advantage is that you can customize the display of your
web-pages based on user settings. e.g. If u have a web application targeted
at Corporate clients then u can use the clients logos and general layouts
in your web pages with minimal effort. based on the users domain u use the
appropriate XSL!!! As simple as it gets....
