[Helma-user] more server side js

[Aaron Iba]

Yes, appjet.com is served from helma.   *.appjet.com is served from
our own Jetty-based webserver.  Using helma has truly been a pleasure.

Oops!  Incidentally, what's the right way to catch and log macro
errors like this?

The php smell probably comes from our design requirement that you be
able to write an entire app in 1 file of code.  We can probably all
agree that this breaks down as a project gets really big.  (The appjet
frontend itself would probably not fit very nicely into 1 file of
code).  But for small apps, I think it's a good fit.
