Hi All,
I'm new to your group and this technology and find it very interesting.
We are undertaking a development effort to move from our traditional two-tier
procedural based architecture to a three tier object based. We will be
kicking off a pilot project that will try and develop EJB's that will replace
pieces of our COBOL system. Our concern deals with transactional capacity.
We are unsure of Java's ability to handle large amounts of data and
transactions. The system that we build, has to be scaleable. We have clients
that produce 1,000 to 250,000 transactions a day. How much of the
scalability falls on the Web Application Server's ability to scale/load
balance? When it gets right down to it, you can't just "throw more hardware"
at it. We have talked to several industry leading vendors and practitioners
but have yet to get a resounding YES. We do have a better feeling about this
after our meeting with WebLogic last week. Can anyone give me a feel for
EJB's ability to handle this type of application?
A related question is anybody have pros/cons for the IDE's VisualAge
Java and Visual Cafe? What about Web Application Servers like WebLogic,
WebSphere, NetDynamics, and Sapphire Web?
