Re: Vendor presentations

["Joe Pluta" <joepluta@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Jim, I'm not taking anyone to task.  Eric's statement was, as you've
indicated, a vendor response to a specific question which has historically
been acceptable here in David's lists.

The only part I objected to was when he started enumerating the reasons why
RPG-CGI is superior to "Java".  Among my many reasons is that a JSP Model II
approach uses almost zero Java; certainly nothing more complicated than what
most web solution vendors use in their own JavaScript.  But to go into that
particular discussion in the same thread as the vendor's product has a
tendency to turn the thread into a discussion of the product rather than the
architecture.

Anyway, enough said.  No offense meant, just wanted to clear up my position.
