Java doing my head in

Monday, February 5th, 2007

I had no idea how awful Spring or JSP or whatever the heck it is this Java web-app is using was. I tried to add a button and a new page with a form on it and ended up editing something like 10 different files. All I got was a big null pointer exception error page. Even ASP.NET is simpler than this. God forbid I ever get to use J2EE.

I am tempted to get JRuby going and embed a small Ruby on Rails app within the JSP app. Nobody would notice and I am dead sure I can do all of that faster than adding one page using Spring and JSP.

And Eclipse is a PITA in comparison with the loveliness that TextMate is.

Enterprisey. Shoot the people who think everything has to be enterprisey. Seriously. Up. Against. A. Wall.
