there was mention of using EJB to do parallel processing today on the list in the "thread" thread, and I though I'd just chime in. I would never use EJB to do parallel processing. That's not what it's meant for. It's meant for "information systems", however you want to define that. Doing scientific calculations inherently involves thread creations, synchronization (mutexes, read/write locks, barriers, etc), synchronous/asynchronous messaging, etc. These are not things that EJB is meant to handle well. my two cents, david -- David Sims [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sims Computing, Inc. www.simscomputing.com =========================================================================== To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and include in the body of the message "signoff EJB-INTEREST".
