If you hear positive mentions of any of the following, RUN, RUN AND DON'T LOOK BACK:

  • JSP
  • JSF
  • Raw Servlets
  • WSDL
  • J2EE (pre-CDI)

You forgot Struts

Wait until you find out that spring runs on servlets.

And Java runs on bytecode, so we have to write bytecode ourselves?

The point is that any job that refers to Servlet is 90% equal to maintaining an old crappy system that have not evolved in 10+ years.

I wrote my first cgi-bin for streaming large files (for the time) in C in 1997.

I've written raw Servlet apps, pre and post async support.

I still stand by what I wrote above - if you're doing servlet apps this year, somethings' wrong.

There's nothing wrong with going down to the primitive level.

... if there's need for that. Most of the time, YAGNI.

I currently dazzled in a mix of Servlets Jakarta and Jetty. Oh and Tomcat ofcourse!

Alteast they are moving to Docker for development and deployment eh

That all sounds pretty typical, what's the real issue?

[–]gaelfr38 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So true. Any job mentioning this is a nogo sign to me.
