Re: Converting STRUTS-based application to Java or EGL

My main concern is that IBM owns EGL right now. As I understand it, EGL is
not an open standard that will allow for continued development if IBM chose
to drop it (like they did with other ui modernization technologies). All we
can do is hope history doesn't repeat itself, though I would say this
appears to be their most promising effort to date.

Aaron,

One thing RBD has going for it over these other technologies is that
it is a code generator. As you know, even though you code in EGL, it
produces all the Java, JSP, etc. source so even if IBM did abandon EGL
at some point in the future you would still have the underlying source
to work with. Obviously, it would require a different skill set but at
least those skill sets are available; totally different situation than
what exists with Net.Data.
