[ snip ] I agree with Sun 100% on this. Using the file-system is bad news for maintenance, scalability and as the article says security. I've seen the chaos that using the filesystem can cause in clustered environments and I would say avoid it if you can. Of course, the problem is Oracle seems to have totally pathetic support for large objects from Java. However I am using Postgres and it works like a charm. -- Peter Beck BEng (hons) - Managing Director, Electrostrata Ltd. http://www.electrostrata.com --+-+-- Experts in e-business and e-commerce ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: SourceForge Enterprise Edition + IBM + LinuxWorld = Something 2 See! http://www.vasoftware.com _______________________________________________ JBoss-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/jboss-user
