RE: .NET and Struts...

Hi Gang, I realize this is tangential to Craig's original request, but I just had to comment...   >The IDE would then compile your application and create an ASPX page that displayed >your form and a class file that would be used to handle events on the form (on the >server side).  So the compiler actually generates JavaScript code which will make calls >out to the server when things like the "lostFocus" even happens on a text box, or the >"Click" event happened on a button.   From a distributing computing standpoint, I would hate to have to host a web application that generated server events on things like a "lostFocus" event on the web page.  This sounds like a recipe for network congestion and an overwhelmed server.  It is a bad idea to make it easy for developers do this sort of thing.  Such features make it easy for a developer to not only shoot themselves in the foot, but blow their whole leg off. -- Erik.
