Well, i've figured that it will be too much pain to implement integrating /dynamically changing/ machine code via the JNI. There is no DLL un-loading or re-loading, so, to load the new version of the code, one would have to create new /interfaces/ for it to implement in a newly generated DLL, which is too much pain. And i need it to be dynamically changing, running inside a web application (CMS) together with embedded databases, caches, etc. This, together with the C++ maintance nightmare i've run from 10 years ago (granted, i'm not that smart to write a large C++ program without subtle bugs; even GDB won't help to fix some of them) and the fact that recent experiments with replacing an embedded web-server with a FastCGI proven to me, that with a good algorithms most of the load goes on the http server anyway, had led me to a decision of rewriting my existing C++ code base into the .NET managed C++. That is instead of my previous attempts to integrate different higher-level languages into the existing C++ code base. And i would have both the ability to load the dynamically updated .NET assemblies via JNI-loaded Mono, or to run the entire application via IKVM and load these assemblies directly, without JNI. Recent discussion about language safety has helped me to go for that decision. Thanks. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
