Tell me about it. I work in the financial industry from mid nineties and I see the same pattern. Back then, it was a good idea for the companies to start internal framework projects (since landscape was pretty much empty), but nowdays it's totally pointless. Now many corporate apps are on these bloated struts-like monsters that are slow, ugly, and real pain indeed to work with. I personally think that "teams" maintaining such internal frameworks, no matter how crappy they may be, want them to exist just because it's their toy to play with while keeping a paying job. Whatta waste, and the effect is that projects get sent offshore, apps are sub-optimal, and rather than support already established project like Tapestry these useless internal frameworks grow to fuel outside economy. Where is the logic to all of this? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
