Hi Tom,
I can see your point. Eventhough Servlets dont offer any thing
pretty different from the old technology perspective, when it come to
new technologies like XML etc..it does provide a lot of support.
This kind of support can seldom be found in the "well worn" technologies
u hve mentioned.
Also, I would say that Servlet technology is still in its younger ages.
Probably a little more down the line u may be able to see sense in using
Servlets.
Any more ideas and comments on this are welcome.
Regards
Raga

Why not just run a cron job that periodically fires the reminder app?
Here's a question for the group that will probably get me flamed:
I've been reading this discussion for three months now, trying to
get a handle on why I would want to use servlets. I have yet to
see an application discussed where I saw any advantage over
the well worn technologies we have all used for years (PERL
or C++ CGI's/SQL/HTML, or client side C++ apps/ODBC/SQL).
No installation issues, no availability issues, stable and well
documented
methodologies and you can find people with the required skills at
any soup kitchen. Again and again I have seen people here struggling
with problems that are no brainers using these older techs. I certainly
don't see servlets reducing development costs. With the sole
exception of some potential performance benefits on very high
traffic servers, I am still drawing a blank on why I should promote
the use of servlets to our clients. What am I missing?
