Bingo! This is the message that we always receive from our tech shop
managerial types (not the coders). The promise is that eventually,
through code re-use, development costs will be drastically reduced. The
reality is that the wheel keeps being re-invented and even if I develop
this myself and follow established guidelines, I will be charged for the
resources that are required to do a full code review. So, I don't find
that there's anything inherently wrong with the J2EE model but rather
with how it is(n't) implemented.
Now, if I had access to "pre-approved modules" (ken drifts into
dreamland....)
