BTW, I don't make assumptions on extensions only. I check their hosting machines and modules also. In my emails, I said some sites have NO Evidence running Java.
When I see most Microsoft sites .aspx, I am pretty sure they are .net sites, not JSF sites. When I see Sun's site, does .jsp means they run on IIS with .net technologies. There are always exceptions, but I like "what you see is what it is" in 99%. John H. Xu ----------- PS. Dave ask why I think only very dynamic pages should use .php, .jsp or .asp. I think this is my preference. The reason was that I like stable page as .html so search engine knows that. If I use a page that frequently changing as .html/shtml and search engine cache it. Later if someone seached this page and people cannot find the contents they need. ----- Original Message ----- From: "John Henry Xu" To: "Struts Users Mailing List" Subject: Re: JSF is the beginning of the end of Struts !!!
