in thread Company considers recoding Java app in Perl

We are not talking about Java applets here. This is about sites with a backend coded in Java and no Java on the frontend. That is the primary market for Java and has been for years. Applets were a short-lived fad.

    Damn, I wish you could convince Rational of that. ClearQuestWeb uses Java applets coming out the wazoo, and I've seen their new version - which has become one big Java applet.

    I'm not actually trying to disagree with you here: I really do honestly wish someone would give Rational a cluestick! (Although the Java applet version is more likely to work on my Linux/Firefox system than the current ASP-based application which only really likes IE6.)
