Hi Howard! One example would be if I want to use tapestry as component architecture for a Portal System. One day there could be the need to extend the syntax of the tapestry dtds in a way that doesnt make sense for normal tapestry.
In my case it's mostly wanting to hide that my app uses tapestry. There are (still) lots of companies out there that dont want to buy your product if its based on opensource products "If we wanted to go with opensource we could just hire a student to code this for us in a week" I have created some projects with webwork (bsd type license) before, and I sometimes had to make some hacks inside the framework just to quickly work around a problem. If it was a general bug i submitted it to the mailinglist, but if its just a quick hack, it doenst make sense. In the software business there's not always time for a clean solution, and in situations like this I want to be able to do whatever I want with the framework code. (I hope you dont mind ;) Peace chris > -----Urspr�ngliche Nachricht----- > Von: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Gesendet: Montag, 24.
