Java vs. .NET Face/Off

[Joe Pluta <joepluta@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Time to clear some stuff up.

The session being held by Richard and I is *absolutely* Java vs. .Net.  
A Java EE application is an application that runs in a Java EE 
container, such as WebSphere or Tomcat.  Period.  It is built of Java 
code, whether hand written or generated by a tool or created for a JSP 
or JSF page.  Technically, it can also include native code when accessed 
via JNI, and of course in a multi-tiered architecture such as the ones 
we will be demonstrating, it can also use existing business logic 
written in RPG.

We have lots of ways of generating the Java bytecode that is executed in 
a Java application.  For example, did you know that each JSP page 
actually generate a servlet written in Java, and that is what is 
executed?  For this session, EGL is the tooling used to create the Java 
middleware that interfaces between the JSF and the RPG.

I'm not sure why he anyone would be confused.  I guess they didn't read 
the Session Details:

There is no question what this session entails, and no marketing 
discrepancy, despite what some people insist on saying.  Anybody who 
says there is a discrepancy didn't read the session agenda, and also 
doesn't understand what a Java EE application is.

Luckily, the readers on this list are a lot smarter than some people 
give them credit for.
