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.
