I doubt he has, he is just being polite in Joe Speak ;-)

Hi Joe,

There's something to be said for setting a good example, rather than
perpetuating the problem with expressions like "...features that kick
the living crap out of.." Surely you have a more professional way of
stating that opinion.

been so skeptical of the ease-of-use statements being made about EGL.

The ease-of-use statements have until now had nothing to do with JSF
validation. Frankly I could do the entire development cycle without
using JSF validation. Yes, it will be nice if some of those features
can be used, but as I've said all along, the real validation has to be
done on the host, anyway.

But as far as painting the screen, binding data from the HLL to the
page, using metadata for transformations to XML and JSON, creating Rich
UI applications - your skepticism has shown no basis in fact.

I am
waiting until somebody actually develops a medium sized application

(let's

say 100+ JSF pages) to see if EGL addressed some of those "bummers"

I really wish you'd use some terms that were a little more professional
in nature. But hey, when in Rome...

and to
see if that person developing a medium app still uses the same
out-of-the-box features at that point or strayed away from them because

they

could save more time by "spinning their own wool" for certain portions
(which is what I have done).

Again, all of the features I've shown prior to today are "out of the
box" features that kick the living crap out of even Nathan's frameworks,
much less vanilla RPG-CGI. Today was just another set of features that
EGL/JSF does very well. Can you show us your version of the programs we
did today so that we can look for "bummers" in your code?
