There are always finite limits

Something that we just came across today doing some J2EE dev. work. In our app, there's a huge form where the users will do a lot of their work. (It was the user's decision to make it that big, not ours). Well, we're externalizing the strings 'cause of course it's got to work in French too. It blew up. There's a limit of how big the java complier will accept jsp's. I think that it's got something to do with all the struts libs bring pretty big, but whatever. So, we're going to break out the form into a bunch of includes and hope that works. I'll update later today.

It just goes to show that computers always have finite limits, even most of the time it doesn't seem like it. And at some point people will always hit that limit, perhaps by not doing things they were originally designed / intended for. Hit a wall, push it back, repeat.

As a side note, I just had to point out something the Peter posted about. Check out the atkins diet part, with sound. It's got swearing, so you might not want to do it on your speakers at work. I was hard pressed this morning not to laugh out loud... it would have been hard to explain. :-)

Update: It looks like using includes will work fine. ;-)
