That's nothing considering the problems I deal with on a daily basis. For those of you that can understand, you may be frightened! I am working with a commercial product that does context sensitive searching of tech docs. The core engine was written in C++ 32-bit DLL's, wrapped by Java. It talks to a MS SQL 2000 server through a JDBC>ODBC bridge. The web server is IIS 5, and the web pages are ASP pages that talk to a COM + object. The COM+ Object is actually a third party COM+>JAVA CLASS bridge, which ties into the Java wrapped 32-bit dlls. We have to run SUN's JVM for Win32 because Microsoft does not support its own version of the JVM. So this is the path the data takes for each web request BROWSER>ASP>IIS>COM>Sun JVM>DLL>compare data to binary database>sun JVM>JDBC>ODBC>MS SQL>ODBC>JDBC>Sun JVM>DLL>Sun JVM>CLASS>COM>IIS>ASP>BROWSER. The vendor is asking us how many people they expect will be using the product concurrently. I think that they feel there might be a performance issue with their product, but they are not disclosing it to us. They are planning on making this a off-the-shelf product.
