Hi Jonathon JavaScript is entirely unassimilated with Java ... They are two separate programming languages with two different origins. JavaScript is entirely client side browser scripting and Java is an entire programming language which is similar to C syntax, although with similar names and similar syntax.
"JavaScript was originally developed by Brendan Eich of Netscape under the name Mocha, later LiveScript, and finally renamed to JavaScript. The change of name from LiveScript to JavaScript roughly coincided with Netscape adding support for Java technology in its Netscape Navigator web browser." - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Javascript#History_and_naming "The Java language was created by James Gosling in June 1991 for use in a set top box project. The language was initially called Oak, after an oak tree that stood outside Gosling's office - and also went by the name Green - and ended up later being renamed to Java, from a list of random words. Gosling's goals were to implement a virtual machine and a language that had a familiar C/C++ style of notation" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_%28programming_language%29#History Java is equally as powerful as C or C++ and is NOT a client side scripting that depends on a client computer for processing and does not need anything activated in the web browser to run. JavaServer Pages (JSPs) are server-side Java EE components that generate responses, typically HTML pages, to HTTP requests from clients much the same as ASP Java and JavaScript are commonly mistaken as somehow related to each other however this is not true cheers Phil > -----Original Message----- > From: Jonathon -- Improov [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Thursday, 4 October 2007 5:06 PM > To: user@ofbiz.apache.org > Subject: Re: CRM - Customer Relationship Management facilities in OFBiz > > Compiere has a similar "auto-deploy" mechanism.
