While this was possible with .NET 1.1, it was difficult and required both programmer and designer discipline. ASP.NET 2.0 makes this far easier with the creation of master pages.

It can be more useful for apps to email their own error messages back. And as Sean C. Sullivan explains, it's not hard to do with either log4j or java.util.logging. http://www.onjava.com/pub/a/onjava/2004/09/29/smtp-logging.html ***Groovy, Java's New Scripting Language When experienced Java developers hear about Groovy, their first reaction is often, "Oh, no, not another scripting language for Java."
