eWeek recently did a test[1] on different application server stacks with LAMP, WAMP, J2EE and .NET. One of the main conclusion is to do test and do the necessary performance tuning[2]. And applications servers needs memory. 1. http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1895,1983364,00.asp 2. http://www.linux-watch.com/news/NS6492047053.html > 2.

It's a fact that J2EE environment as JBoss/Tomcat or that one from Sun Microsystem is built on top of Java, has a built in security by design, if you turn it on. By using the right patterns (patterns is the a kind of best practice of programing). The standard pattern you should use on with servlet is a Model View Controller (MVC)[3], and focusing on that you got the right certificates and such. 3. http://java.sun.com/developer/technicalArticles/J2EE/despat/ Handeling of security issues is also doable with other free software stacks as LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, and Perl/Phyton/PHP). When it comes to scalability is there more than enough scalablility for standard usage. Most of the busninesses bay to expensive servers. They should by less server power and a bit more memory (as in RAM), and everythings runs smoth enough. Remember, it's not likely that you will be slashdoted :), and the performance on every stack is good enough at any stack as the performance test in eweek shows. > 3.

If you really want to learn something, and not be fiddling with all the nifty gritty details, you should look at Ruby[4]. That "language" has many language bidings, one of them to KDE[5]. So what you should do is to focus on learning. Ruby gives a high level human approach to programming, and you need to code less. Servlets is just to complicated for ordinary pupils that are 14-15 years old. The will have results now, not using days just putting up the infrastructure. 4. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruby_programming_language 5. http://developer.kde.org/language-bindings/ruby/index.html So I suggest for you to decide what you want. To learn to make programs for humans, or to get into the nifty gritty security issues before, that often are a built in feature in a modern application stack. A thing that should be focused on, but probably at stage 2 :) - K -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
