I posted this on the .help NG but I believe you folks could probably
provide more of an accurate answer considering the help group is
targeted towards true beginners.
Okay, where I am employeed I have the options of programming with
Microsoft Technologies and Java specifically J2EE. I have been
investigating the task of learning Java for about the last 3 to 4
months. I am a ASP.Net developer fulltime at work with C#. I was new to
OOP when I started into .Net about a year ago and am getting better.
However, our corporation uses Java as a National standard and I am
looking to advance some day and need to learn Java. Furthermore, where I
live, KY there are very few jobs for technologies other than .Net and
Java. No PHP or ColdFusion.
In the last couple of years this code seperation theory has overloaded
the programming world. .Net does it with what's called code behind. In
my research of Java the only things I see that reference code seperation
is servlets (I am sure J2EE and EJB contribute also). However,
everything I have read on servlets reference outputing HTML back to the
browser via the HttpServletResponse and Request objects.
My question, why in the world do they consider outputting HTML back to a
browser via a servlet considered code seperation. Furthermore, it
seems very time consuming and difficult to hand code complex layouts in
HTML and incorporate/format it for a servlet.
Can someone please explain or direct me to a resource where I can
understand why using servlets at any point in an application would be
better than jsp or even applets? Sometimes it's hard enough to design
complex layouts with the assistance Dreamweaver for example.
Thanks for any insight you can provide, I have read hundreds of pages of
information concerning this and trying to compare it with the my current
knowledge in the .Net world.
