There's hope. I achieve 1, 3, 4 with Webware, Cheetah, and logic in Page.py. I used to have 2 until I switched over to FunFormKit, where button actions have nothing to do with the actions that Page implements. I do 4 by setting a servlet level attribute to indicate whether security is to be enforced. The Page base class handles all the security checks, and redirection to a login page if needed. Sounds like you're trying to implement an MVC system. PSP isn't so good for this (at least based on my needs). Cheetah is better in this regard. At one time, I implemented the same basic test site in PSP, straight servlet form, and Cheetah. Of the three, Cheetah proved to be best at supporting a pure MVC architecture. ...Edmund. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: SourceForge Enterprise Edition + IBM + LinuxWorld = Something 2 See! http://www.vasoftware.com _______________________________________________ Webware-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/webware-devel
