I would suggest a demonstration - pictures speak louder than words, and real life is even louder. If you are confident that you are now proficient enough with Struts to show a good ROI, then show them. If it means sitting in an office and showing how you put it together line by line, then so be it. Take the shopping cart as an example, since you imply that this is their concern - build yourself some beans to encapsulate the business logic and data, jar them up and use them in your demonstration. They'll be surprised how quickly you tap out those Struts actions and wire pages in. Don't do yourself out of a job though - and make sure they realise the beans need development time too ;) That's the thing about internal politics of this type - quite often its down to ignorance, and all it takes is a good illustration. >Thanks in advance, > >--Michael Marrotte > > > >--- >Incoming mail is certified Virus Free. >Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com). >Version: 6.0.360 / Virus Database: 199 - Release Date: 07/05/2002 Cliff Rowley Tel: +44 (0) 1206 514263 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Web: http://www.onsea.net
