Not to get too off-topic, but IBM didn't stop with Apache. 
Interestingly, they use Allaire's JRun as WebSphere's servlet container.

So I guess that means that Linux, Apache, sendmail, bind (the Unix utility
that provides DNS services for almost every Unix application), and a whole
bunch of other useful stuff are out as well ...

You might ask your staff to look inside the "commercial" pacakges they are
using - they would probably be fascinated to find that the web server
inside IBM's WebSphere is actually Apache (for example).

We are about to start on this, and currently plan to do an applet per field, using 
infobus for 
communication between them when required. This allows the most flexibility for the 
client to 
rearrange things. However at the moment our use of Struts is on hold due to company 
policy on 
open-source, which we are still trying to overcome. So unfortunately we have to 
progress without 
Struts for the moment.

There's no current support for something like this, but it would be
interesting to consider.  Are you thinking that there would be an applet
for each field, or one for the entire form?

Bean-applet support?

[Menno M Jansz]

Is there any support in Struts for bean-applets?

We are looking to use Struts but need extensive use of bean-applets in our jsp to 
provide a rich UI, passing the bean-applets 
serialised objects via the web tier.
