Have you thought about usimg Jython to write J2EE apps. has anyone here tried this?

I don't like the idea of Jython. I DO like the idea of JPE: http://sourceforge.net/projects/jpe Basically, it runs up two virtual machines and lets them talk to each other. So, you can use python classes as if they were java classes and java classes as if they were python classes. So, why fight? Use whichever primary solution makes most sense and then use the best bits of the other language as desired :-) I used it so that I could use the Lucene indexing engine in Zope and was pleasantly suprised at how easy it was to get going :-) cheers, Chris
