I think you've missed the point of the example. Not everything
requires arguments, restful resources, session tracking, etc. If I
need those things, I have no problem using a framework that gives them
to me. The thing is, if I don't need them, I don't *want* to have to
deal things that provide them.
Simple things should be simple.
Say I'm having a problem with the cpu in a web server overheating. I
want to install a simple hack so I can check the temperature on my
phone's browser when I'm home (or connected in through the vpn).
The shell script/CGI to do this is pretty much identical to the hello
world example:
#!/bin/sh
echo 'Content-type: text/plain\n'
sysctl dev.cpu.0.temperature
If I didn't have a server installed, it'd be a little bit more
complicated, but not a lot.
The problem is so simple I don't need to "build up" to it, but the
Java world still seems to insist I have that ability - and the
complexity that goes with it.
Which means that simple things aren't so simple.
