In a small way I agree with you, but in a another way I do not. What do you think will happen in 2 months, or 2 weeks, when someone is searching the mail archives and sees statements like "it brings more problems than it solves"? And as they read on, there is no rebuttal. One might assume the author is knowledgeable and accurate.
It is frustrating when people who don't understand something bash it on public forums. Look at what happened as JSF was being created. You had a bunch of nay-sayers whining about how JSF is competitor to Struts, etc, etc. I mean, come on. That's like saying OJB or Hibernate is competing with JDO.....that just cracks me up. Anyway, I'm signing off this thread, and since you seem to love to have the 'last word', I'll politely let you have it. See ya on another thread. -- James Mitchell Software Engineer / Open Source Evangelist EdgeTech, Inc. 678.910.8017 AIM: jmitchtx ----- Original Message ----- From: "Michael McGrady" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Struts Users Mailing List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, September 21, 2004 10:17 AM Subject: Re: Struts Bloat: Framework > I think the reference to Tiles was rather offhand and incidental and > made solely in relation to another isssue which you are on record as not > interested in, Jim.
