I got to disagree with this. Perhaps, the reason why webapps are much cleaner than GUI apps is that so far (most) webapps haven't achieved the kind of interactive-ness found in GUI apps and thus don't require that kind of complexity in the code. > > Being a Java/OO purist, I really don't like it when 738 type-unsafe, > > throwaway objects (or methods at least) make their way into the Java object > > model.

The way they use "webform inheritance" instead of MVC to achieve the similar kind of modularization/de-coupling is impressive. (Anyway, at the core, both MVC and webform inheritance are just different kind of the delegation.) -- John Yu Scioworks Technologies e: [EMAIL PROTECTED] w: +(65) 873 5989 w: http://www.scioworks.com m: +(65) 9782 9610 Scioworks Camino - "Don't develop Struts Apps without it!" -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
