More Complexity



The View from Hell: "The CruiseControl JSP starts by slurping up some XML stored elsewhere and feeding it to an XSL stylesheet. The XSL spits out an HTML page, but the HTML has no HTML in it; its just a big JavaScript block. The JavaScript uses DOM manipulation to write out a combination of HTML and CSS. And some more JavaScript. Really. I'm not making this up. "

I am a huge cruisecontrol advocate, but this is kinda funny. It is definitely aiming for a separation of concerns and the single responsibility principle, but I don't see it hitting the mark exactly...at the very least that first JSP should be written as a servlet!
