I see the argument you're making... but you misread/misunderstood the point of what I was saying....
CFMX is awesome in that it allows you to develop applications very rapidly. Compared to java, it's much simpler and allows for faster development. Java is awesome in that it allows for complex enterprise-level computations to be done in an efficient/optimized manner. It may take longer to code if you don't know it that well, but if you don't know it that well then you don't fall into the category of people that I was trying to make a point to. It makes sense from a programming standpoint to handle the "difficult" things in java where you know your code will be as optimized as you can make it, rather than trying to make the CFMX compiler optimize code that you could probably better optimize yourself (I apologize for this sounding redundant, it's late...). When you're digging into the .java files generated by the pages and looking at how it could be optimized, doesn't it make sense to just write the optimized code in java if you know what you're doing? If you don't agree, then, again, you're missing the point. You still use CFMX, but when performance counts and highly optimized files are necessary, it starts becoming more of a front-end with a java enterprise-level backend on large-scale applications. I wasn't knocking CFMX at all -- I was saying that it makes sense to optimize your own "complex" code with java if you've got the experience... Java + CFMX is a great marriage, when used in conjunction at the right times. :-) -Darron -----Original Message----- From: Joe Eugene [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, September 17, 2002 2:29 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Jsp Vs Cfm (CFMX) -- Test Code > That way you don't have to rely on the CFMX compiler at all, and you can > work in all of your own optimizations, AND you don't have to deal with JSP > at all either. So what does the $5000 software do? Oh Yea i can start writing this with C#, that does NOT require any other software and it will still be faster right? So whats your argument to your CLIENT for using CFMX just "RAD"? Joe > -----Original Message----- > From: Darron J.
