As one of my market research experiments at J1, where you tend to meet a lot of people and catch up on life, I would describe what I'm doing (beyond being architect for Creator) with a statement like "and I also started Shale" ... without describing what software and geologic layers of rock have to do with each other :-). A very large percentage of the people I talked to knew exactly what it was about. And it's already a "top 10" link on a Google search ... I'd say it's pretty clear where *I* think the future of web MVC frameworks is going :-). > -- > Dialogs and wizards for Struts > http://struts.sourceforge.net/strutsdialogs Craig PS: If you like the concepts and approaches of Spring WebFlow, you will also like Dialogs in Shale ... it's the same conceptual model. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
