I have yet to see JAVA successfully handle the data and transaction volumes processed by the largest credit card processors, banks, insurance companies, or the stock market. I witnessed an attempt at processing appx. 15% of IRS volume using JAVA as a core technology. I don't know the final outcome, but when I left they were about 400% beyond proposed SLA performance targets. C/C++ seems like a good (maybe only) bet if they want to keep the workload on zTPF.

But JAVA is way too slow TPF has had C/C++ since 1997. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
