1. All code is Java, which enables end-to-end refactoring and gives you clean html.
2. Composition enables reuse. When I took a panel and moved it from a tab on a page to a modalwindow on the page by changing a couple of lines of code it made a big impact. 3. Components have session state. Hence the content of the session is determined by what components are on the page -- and further the session is cleaned out as components leave scope. (And if state is kept in url parameters then session is not used, in case anyone complains about session size. State must be somewhere, no?) 4. Simple AJAX and nice integration with JS libraries such as Dojo. 5. i18n: resource bundles, component-level, page-level, application-level 6. Behaviors: What about a tab-order-preserving behavior to keep tabbing between fields from multiple panels sensible? That's (relatively) easy. What about a content-copying behavior to copy the purchaser's first/last name from the first item to all other items? That's easy too. This is because everything is Java, including how components act and how state (models) are maintained. I would focus on 1, 2 & 3; then give a quick look at some code that shows 4, then just mention 5 & 6. - Scott On 10/30/07, jweekend <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Nick, > In fact that's why someone from jWeekend first wrote to you in May when you > were coming to the UK.
