>>That is definitely what you claimed. I claim that such a standard is >>irrelevant. I just try to find where I said Java, as a whole, is not popular in web application from my previous email. Unfortunately I can not find that statement. Can someone post my original saying so I can find it? I really like to know where I said that statement. > [snip] > > > > If it uses Java in Apache, I may find mod_jk, or jsp, .do?...

Someone please find where I said that also. I really want see how I "concluded" that. What I say was that there is No Evidence that www.javaworld.com uses java in their site. If someone have evidence, please let me know. I really like to see how and why that site tried to hide java implementation. Am I so naive about thinking html is static site? Just go to our sites, see all the html there. If someone think those html are real html, they are wrong. >>Actually, my favorite sites are the > ones that map "*.asp" to the Struts servlet. Gotta love people that > bend minds like that! I cannot imagine what motivates people tried to map there servlets to .asp. Even I could easily map my site to .aspx, I would not do that. Although I respect MS, I am not really a huge fun of Microsoft. If I implement sites with Java, I want java take credits. If I implement sites in PHP, I want PHP take credits, I would not map that to .asp. If I use .net, I don't map it to jsp also. If I saw a site ends with .php or .aspx, I assume that was a php and .net site, and I belieave I am right on that with 99% confidence. John H.
