Software vendors like java because it gives them easy access to a large pool of cheap labor fluent in Java and it also means not having to maintain more than one code base. C/C++ programmer are becoming more scarce every year since most colleges and universities start with Java now instead of C/C++.
Generally, it's fine for GUI's or client side processing, but it is not fine for any application which requires performance. -------------------------------------------------- Salvatore Giudice [EMAIL PROTECTED] VoIP Security Training, LLC http://VoIPSecurityTraining.com 848 N.

For things running inside the browser, i think java is a reasonable choice. Yes you could do it with active-x too, but it won't work on all OS'es. I hate java, probably for the same reasons you do, but in same cases its the best option.
