In the early days of Java, I read that a large retailer had about 70 Java programmers because it was "a business decision". It was the only tool available that they could use to integrate their systems.
Most likely, Marc's decision to use PHP on the website is a business decision as well. The website has to be fluid, functional, and professional, require a mininum of time and attention, and it all has to be done Now. So Marc found a ready-made solution that will solve 80% of his requirements. The 20% that's missing is that it's not J2EE. JSP is relatively new compared to PHP, and JSP/JSTL is significantly more complex. It sounds like Mark has both an immediate plan and a vision for the future all based on real-world requirements and recent practical experience wrestling with the forums. It would be "nice" to see everything pure java. Marc says "we'll get there." He's got us this far, hasn't he? So having had our say (from the perspective of ones not paying the bills), I suggest we all just get back to work. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: SourceForge Enterprise Edition + IBM + LinuxWorld = Something 2 See! http://www.vasoftware.com _______________________________________________ JBoss-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/jboss-user
