Java -- it's a weird world
So, after a foray into Javascript and into PHP I'm back, for a bit, coding Java. A stupid little web application with maybe four data objects and a webservice interface. And I am not liking it. We're using Appfuse (nice community, helpful maintainer -- no quibbles with that) to generate all the boilerplate for us. Generating boilerplate code was a cardinal sin already in 1993 when Visual C++ would clutter your application with its reams of generated MFC boilerplate, and it's still a Bad Thing.
