It's one of the arguments that Velocity advocates originally made, and is also one of things people like Jason Hunter like about Tea (which is now on SF at <http://teatrove.sourceforge.net>). See Jason's thoughts about Tea on his website <http://www.servlets.com> and the 2nd edition of "Java Servlet Programming". The concern, as I understand it, is not so much about deliberately malicious page developers, but those that make errors that are not caught prior to production deployment, which result in things like stack traces shown to the end user. > David Craig -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
