I'm working on the coredumps. Actually, I've never seen them for the long-running apps that I have used. Mostly web servers. However, I was informed of some memory leaks that I am tracking down (explictly with the python wrappers) I'll keep you all posted :) On 5/16/05, Jack Diederich [EMAIL

Hey, you were the one that noticed the leaks! Just realized that... What is your platform? p.s. I would love a python reader as well, just need some time to convert the old python reader... Brian _ Metakit mailing list - Metakit@equi4.com

My goals are 1) fix the current wrappers 2) migrate to swig. I have been using swig for a production python environment for a year now, and have been very happy. It is a big job though. Swig is a two part process but can mostly use the direct c++ header files for the first pass. I just

Just for information , here we develop web applications in jsp with RESIN, and they suggest that IBM jvm is quicker than Sun's one. Java in web app is doing maths computing, neither GUI, it is building html pages from sql data, so there are intensive data manipulation (and of course network).

I like Metakit so much, but can't use it directly with my Java software, that I've decided to begin writing a version in Java. I've got a reasonable amount of progress so far in being able to open and read a Metakit database. My initial goal is to be able to fully support read-only access

My plan was to, as you say, literally re-implement Metakit in Java. I'm not interested in a solution that is not in pure Java. As to your qualms. 1) I agree that keeping the features in step with Metakit would require a significant effort. On the other hand, at the moment I am not using nearly

Just a couple of comments that you can take for whatever they are worth, and not intended to start a best language war: I can well imagine that relatively direct Java access to Metakit databases would be welcomed by a significant number of Java developers. I encourage this effort. There is more

Hi Gary, I appreciate your comments and have no interest in a best language war as well. There are certainly many others that are quite interested in that and we can leave it to them. I guess my bottom line is that for me Java works very well. I do write compute intensive applications, often
