Thanks for the tips guys. I've read Matt's blog in the past and tried out appfuse--I think it was based on his recommendation that I bought a certain Wiley o.s. Java book. So must try Acegi now.
Bummer about 1st time setup. I am capable but it's a pet peeve. For similar reasons I have migrated all my important work to OS X. I don't like gratuitous busy work and/or config files, or vendor lock-in!! My experience w/ IoC frameworks for production use has been limited to picocontainer. Haven't fully grasped how I would leverage Spring as opposed to the way I do things without it, but perhaps in time... Does anyone know enough to recommend the (new?) apress Spring book? As I recall, there may be a section on Spring in the aforementioned Wiley book, but I haven't taken time to work through it. Maybe it's just me, but the less crazy configuration I have to do to get my HelloCrazyWorld applications going, the more likely I will get comfortable with said framework(s). So much more so if someone like Matt or Clinton puts together war/ear files or decent documentation as they have done. I have always appreciated that... -Brett --- Matt Raible <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > On Mar 17, 2005, at 9:40 AM, Kris Jenkins wrote: > > > No, you can use with or without.
