And, someday, web applications, as we know them, will also die. As mentioned elsewhere, ASP.NET made ASP Classic "obsolete" five years ago. But, even today, I'm talking with a team who is only now planning to migrate an enterprise application from classic to .NET. But, even then, the coding won't start before 2006. I'm sure they are not alone. Like it or not, the same thing will happen with Struts Classic applications, but we will see even longer migration periods, because Struts applications tend to be easier to maintain. > 3. PHP. I've done some PHP over the last couple years. PHP and Struts are not antithetical. There have been several ports of Struts to PHP, as well as Struts-like frameworks, such as Maverick and FuseBox. I'm not working in PHP myself, but if I were, you can bet I'd be porting both Struts and iBATIS. What we call Struts is not about Java, it's about an architecture that pushes logic away from server pages and into a control layer that we can configure via XML. -Ted. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
