Other web technologies

A sensitive topic with UAG is the inclusion of other web technologies, such as Java, Silverlight, and Flash. These are all great technologies which can benefit your code in many ways, but they may not be suitable everywhere. For example, including an Adobe Flash or Microsoft Silverlight animation on the UAG login page may be a terrific visual add-on, but one must keep in mind that UAG's parsing engine won't be able to parse the content, so it may be a bad fit for integration with other parts of the code. You may be able to compensate by hardcoding HAT URLs into your code, but that's a pretty bad practice.
