Yup. Unlike most "modern" languages that don't understand even the most

That's the nice thing about working with EGL: it does business. The
more I work with it the more I understand IBM's position that it's the
next great business language. First COBOL, then RPG, now EGL. No other
language is as well suited for business logic. <snip>

No argument Joe - the absence of these constructs in other languages is a major draw back.

I only wish that the deployment and debugging of EGL applications did not seem to be so problematic. I know _you_ have no problems with it - but you have extensive Java/JSF/JSP/J2EE/App Server experience. I watch this list daily and all I see is problem after problem with what it seems should be simple issues.

When the freebie version comes out I intend to have another go with the product, but just how is one supposed to debug the problems when all you see is a five mile long list of Java error messages? Any suggestions on where to start with that?
