So you're saying that in effect, there should be a certification for VMs? This would make sense to me.
I owe IBM some retraction. Apparently (from the WAS newsgroup), the VM they currently include with Websphere performs some level of parallel optimization so that the container can take advantage of multiprocessor systems. The problem I was running into with IBM is that JNDI clients needed to use the IBM VM so if you're deploying a product with Swing or Applets, your customers need to install the IBM VM on every client. However, someone has posted a plug-in on the developerworks site so the client can function with the Sun VM. >From: Javier Glez <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Reply-To: Javier Glez <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Subject: Re: J2EE/EJB VM >Date: Mon, 3 Dec 2001 08:54:18 -0700 > >I agree that is good to have more than one VM provider, but I also agree >that VMs should be *fully* interoperable.
