I don't know that anyone keeps a list around, but this is a foolish challenge to give without checking Google: 1) www.donotcall.gov 2) www.gop.com 3) www.us.playstation.com 4) www.computerjobs.com 5) www.xanga.com 6) asp.usatoday.com 7) online.firstusa.com 8) www.bankone.com 9) www.careerbuilder.com 10) finance.lycos.com Of course, I can't make any guarantees on how much traffic these sites get. They are, however, pretty popular. That said, it matters very little how many sites are successfully using it. I only know of one successfully deployed LISP-based site, but that doesn't mean it isn't excellent technology (see http://www.paulgraham.com/avg.html). If it's a matter of being able to find people to maintain the software in the future, you are almost always better off choosing Microsoft technologies, though both Java and C++ are pretty strong in that area as well. Struts? Maybe not so much. JSF? Still new, which makes it risky. In any case, I'm not trying to post flamebait here, nor do I wish to engage in an argument. I would like Java and J2EE/JSF/Struts/API of the month to be better than any Microsoft offering. I will have to learn more about JSF, since it seems to be getting there. I can say that Java/JSP/Struts falls short of C#/.NET/ASP.NET at this time. Those of you who have never tried doing anything with C# and ASP.NET should try it out, just to know the competition and to gain some perspective on the sharp corners of what you are currently using that you have grown too used to for them to register as worth fixing. } Regards } Leon --Greg --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
