My good friend Google just explained "CMS publishing" to me, and I think I understand the issue. It is not PHP vs. J2EE, but Post-Nuke vs. a J2EE-based CMS that apparently DNE.

(I can think of many > factors that often outweigh technical superiority -- time, > money, expedience, IP issues... was it one of these?) the real reason is that the APPLICATION IS THERE. We tried to rewrite the forums (which we did) and it took us for ever due to the publishing framework getting in the way. The problem we have is that PostNuke is a bunch of PHP files with direct DB access in it and we are having scalability nightmares. Our machine used to be 15% utilization max (slashdot was 50%) due TO THE CACHES IN JBOSS. And without it, we have 100 people on the website and the machine is pegged. So the application is there so we use it. We need it NOW. Julien viet, who was writing the forums, is now on JBoss payroll and will be working on JNUKE. A straight port of PHP functionality to JBoss. PHP is ugly and functional, my kind of code but at the end of the day it doesn't scale well at all due to all the crap they do. EJB are good things :) Peace, marcf ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: SourceForge Enterprise Edition + IBM + LinuxWorld = Something 2 See! http://www.vasoftware.com _______________________________________________ Jboss-development mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/jboss-development ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: SourceForge Enterprise Edition + IBM + LinuxWorld = Something 2 See! http://www.vasoftware.com _______________________________________________ Jboss-development mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/jboss-development
