Tomcat and me

LEGEND ,
Sep 12, 2006 Sep 12, 2006
I have been approached by a client for rehosting and maintenance on a site
that uses JSP and Tomcat.

Am I in deep poo?

I'm too young for this, I am afraid. So, this would take me into the JSP,
Java, Apache universe, right?

Certainly looks like it. DW has had JSP as one of its languages for a long
time but I have never seen anyone writing any articles on how you use it.

Provided the requirements are simple database queries, inserts upates etc
you should be able to cope using DW.

Deeper than you know. I pity you. It's about 10 times more difficult than
php, which is 10 times more difficult than ColdFusion.

That's what I was worried about. Thanks, Tom.

Java is a gigantic technology, to be sure. I've spent a lot of time
studying it and still have a hard time with it. Those that use it swear by
it, those that don't use it much swear at it.

The other thing that makes Java so difficult in the web arena is that there
are so many frameworks that extend the base Java technology. And as Forest
Gump says, you never know what you're gonna get. Dreamweaver codes JSPs
using the "scriptlet" method, similar to the way ASP and PHP are written.
This technique makes most hard-core Java developers cringe.

I maintain a Java-based system and I do everything I can to stay away from
the portions of the system that require me to touch the code. It's way
bigger than my brain can handle compared to the other technologies I'm used
to.

So, to make a long story longer, unless you know Java or have an undying
urge to learn it, it might be best to decline the job. On the other hand,
if you want to work for The Man, Java developers tend to make a large chunk
of change (and for good reason), and the practice might be good for you :-)

Best regards,
Chris

I think it's a no-go situation for me, frankly. But I'm having a conference
with the client this morning to find out more about what he wants. Expect
more later....

Well, the good news is that Tomcat/JSP is not required for the functionality
of this site.

A narrow escape....
