right...i think that is taking things to far. i think it makes the code to
complicated for others to work with. especially newer engineers...

I hope that on the back end you are wrapping these things around ECS and not
just re-creating it! :-)
Also, the problem with this is that you are not creating a fully MVC model
where ALL of the HTML is in the template files. in other words, if you want
to change the name of a button or some text, you still need to edit the java
class file.
with the recent tighter integration with WebMacro and Freemarker, I think
that we have proven that using a template tool is a much better solution
than putting any of the html (even just button names) into the java code.
it took some trying to get it right, but i think we are pretty close now.
with Scarab, i have 99.9% MVC abstraction. there is zero things about the UI
model that cannot be edited by page designers. so far, the only thing that
is being embedded in the code is some error messages and eventually those
will get Localized out so i will have 100% MVC.

Personally, I just don't like code like this. I find it pretty hard to read.

totally cool. I love to see people using this code in ways that i never
imagined. :-) creativity is good.
