Anothernoticeablechangeisthattheviewusesdifferenttechnologyforimplementationthanthemodelorcontroller.Ofcourse,wecoulduseJava（orPERL,C/C++orwhatever）codetogenerateHTML.Thereareseveraldisadvantagestothatapproach:

∙Javaprogrammersshoulddevelopservices,notHTML.

∙Changestolayoutwouldrequirechangestocode.

∙Customersoftheserviceshouldbeabletocreatepagestomeettheirspecificneeds.

∙Thepagedesignerisn'

∙HTMLembeddedintocodeisugly.
