Joe,
I was involved in Zope work but then moved to a part of the company where for business reasons we are having to go with J2EE and Oracle. We're still getting to grips with J2EE so this is my initial impression.
Firstly: - every line I write in Java makes me miss Python more. Java is a lot of hard work. Yes, because its so strict you produce correct code, but the learning curve is steep, compiler unforgiving (oh for an interpreter), and I can't help feeling the language should deal with the details, not me. - J2EE is *huge*. We have one book on the subject which is 1,600 pages. When I got into Zope I thought the Zope learning curve was steep - hah!
Have you thought about usimg Jython to write J2EE apps. has anyone here tried this? Daniel
