I very much like the ease of use of struts (yes it need some
improvements still) and everytime I encounter a lack of functionality
building my JSP I will have to ask myself if this is lack of
functionality or simply an attempt of me to put too much logic into the
JSP... Sofar I could handle all issues with the bean,logic ad html
taglibs. All other problems are solved in small almost atomic actions
that do the real task and prepare the bojects for viewing..

I have never liked IDEs. I have never used an IDE that didn't get in my
way more than it helped. VS.NET is no exception. Below I'll give you
some reasons why .NET is popular that have nothing to do with the
quality, or lack thereof, of VS.NET as an IDE.

I recently developed an ASP.NET web app. This involved writing in the
following languages: ASP.NET (JSP-ish), C#, CSS, and JavaScript. It was
only because I could convince VS.NET to let me edit these files with Vim
that I did not tear out all my hair.

That said, ASP.NET beats the pants off JSP. I can tell you definitively
that ASP.NET's custom web control stuff (both ascx files and just plain
class instances) beats hell out of JSP's tag libraries. The EL is not a
big enough plus to make up for the difficulty of wrapping functionality
in a custom tag. I haven't done anything significant with Struts, but I
didn't have any trouble separating model, view, and controller in
ASP.NET.

In addition, C# is what Java always should have been. Here are a few
Java mistakes that are done right in C#:

1. The language and virtual machine are internationally standardized.

2. JavaBeans use a naming convention (get/set methods), rather than
   first-class, syntactically clear, reflectable properties. (Yes, you
find
   the methods by reflection, but they are "properties" because of the
   naming convention, not because the reflection API knows anything
about
   properties.)

3. Namespaces (packages) are hierarchical in name, but not in scope.

4. The source filename must match the (public) class defined in it.

5. The source file must be located in a directory hierarchy that matches
   the package hierarchy to which it belongs.

6. C/C++ precompiler directives were simply dropped, rather than fixed
to
   be less prone to misuse.

7. Receiving an event requires implementing an interface, with its
   associated method(s), and calling a method on the event producer to
   register the handler; producing an event requires writing add and
remove
   handler methods, as well as writing a loop to invoke the appropriate
   method on each registered handler.
   
   What makes this wrong can be seen by comparing it to the C# event

If you used one of those IDEs you hate this wouldn't be so hard.  In 
jdeveloper you'd create the class, with a wizard that builds the boring 
part of the code, declare any variables you needed for this tag, use 
jdev to generate the getters and setters and then use the idea to put 
the tag in a library.  I'll have to confess if I had to do all that 
grunt-work by hand, I'd hate it too.


That being said, I do believe its a good idea to do some of your 
development in a new environment using a text editor as it helps you to 
understand when the whiz-bang tool goes ker-blooey and dumps out cryptic

Hi Gregory:
C# is a simple, clean yet very powerful language. I love it. I admit it is a 
bit painful to do the
front develpment in J2EE. But we have JSF now which is just as good as 
ASP.net's server controlls.
 I believe it is better than ASP.NET 1.1. I like the idea of externalizing 
something(not too much)
in XML files. Page navigations are one of the coolest futures in Creator  I 
belive you have to
hard code page-navigations in source code right?  In JSF, page navigations are 
centralized, which
is very easy to manage Oh, besides that, the business tire and data access 
tire is very easy
work on now since we have spring,hibernate,toplink and other great OR mappers.. 
So for medium to
large apps, we are very productive in the middle tier and back end .NET 
seems lacking in these
areas...

un-/boxing (C# has it), and typesafe enums (C# has it). There is also the
metadata facility, which is similar to C#'s attributes. In some ways, Java
has caught up with C# (though I'm not likely to forgive Sun for the
unpleasantness that is the JavaBean convention).

Of course, C# is moving forward as well. (See
http://www.ondotnet.com/pub/a/dotnet/2004/04/05/csharpwhidbeypt1.html and
http://www.ondotnet.com/pub/a/dotnet/2004/04/12/csharpwhidbeypt2.html for a
rundown of its coming features.) It's getting generics. It's also getting
anonymous methods (a lot like anonymous classes, and intended for the same
sort of use, i.e. event handling, but see mistake #7 above). It's also
getting an absolutely brilliant way of expressing iteration, using the
"yield return" construct. Basically, all the bookkeeping you have to do in
an iterator is done for you, and you just write a loop (or whatever other
traversal) around your data, executing yield return on each element. Also

I know this is a tongue in cheek conversation but IDE's do all the frilly

a big part of my design work as 'he' often disagrees with 'me'. Code

Hi guys,

I think this lovely discussion is losing focus.

Remember there have been great programmers and programs before any of us was
born.

Do you think the guys creating e. g. Unix had  Emacs or an IDE
?

And we (well, some of us) today are great programmers using better tools.

It is the (wo)man, not the tool.

[OT] Stinking IDEs

2005-06-29 Thread Mark Galbreath
I have noticed over the years that those who are the most adamant about the 
virtues of IDEs are the worst programmers...and think emacs is a kid's meal 
from McDonalds.

It is the most stupid blog I have ever seen. Go back to the cave where you 
belong to. Maybe we
should ask MS guys to use vi and Emacs too. Why do some people call them "real 
programmers" just
because they do not like IDEs?  Why 85% of the Java developers use Eclipse?  
You think they are
all wrong and you are right?  You should be thankful since Eclipse is such a 
good IDE and it is
free. Haa. I know when you get too old, you tend to hate anything new due to 
uncertainty that the
new technologies might bring to you Hey that is understable that you 
might still want to
use Cobol or even assembly.. Why do you want to program in java anyway?  You 
could do a lot
more(control) using assembly than Java as you could program in the stinking 
text editors such as
vi and Emacs. They suck big time.
