Yep, it makes a lot of sense, particularly from Macromedia's perspective. >From our perspective, we rarely encounter IT departments who are capable of installing and administering J2EE servers. We have one application that we deploy as an EAR file. However, we don't just give the client the EAR file and an installation guide. We give them server specs. Then, someone shows up at their place, installs the J2EE server (SAP J2EE), and installs the app. That the product runs on J2EE or takes the form of an EAR file is incidental. They buy it because it's NetWeaver certified and integrates with SAP Portal. At least, that's the way I understand it. I don't sell, market or install the product. In fact, our company itself doesn't do that. We just built it. :) Ben Rogers http://www.c4.net v.508.240.0051 f.508.240.0057 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.
