Sigh. OK so I'm from the old school of thought. Trying to re-use parts of an old application which the code was not written to be reused can cause serious performance and maintainabilty issues. Kluding a prebuilt tool to work has the same effect. The best thing to do is to use a new toolset like Cold Fusion or Web Objects.
