Unless backed by strong testing, I always take the 'XYZ language is too slow' with a grain of salt. In this case (Java), I have personally been happily surprised with Java, its speed, scalability and stability in a recent Cocoon 2 deployment. I have no personal opinion on the subject of the implementation language for dbXML, but wouldn't discard the existing codebase without a very strong reason. -- Sergio Carvalho --------------- [EMAIL PROTECTED] If at first you don't succeed, skydiving is not for you --------------------------------------------------------------------- In case of troubles, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
