Can you explain why? Most app servers are mostly java written, and thus far
I have seen BETTER performance and no crashes from them, over using IIS
and/or Apache. Is there a reason you say not to use a Java based web/app
server? If its for performance reasons, I think you'd have to really try it
before you can say that. I can say we see a noticeable speed increase in
using JSP/JavaBeans/Servlets over ASP/COM on our site..and we are still
using IIS as the web server. Java is far faster to develop in with its
incredibly rich libraries that are all free with the JDK. The code is easier
to understand, maintain and add to than C++ by a long shot. Ofcourse..this
is my opinion, but as an ex C/C++ lover, I am absolutely blown away with the
use of Java. I realize for desktop applications its not quite as fast, but
JDK 1.3, due out sometime very soon, speeds up SWING apps hugely (is that a
word? ;). I would say with JDK 1.3, I see that SWING based java apps are
about 1/2 as fast as native apps..which is a huge improvement over what the
JDK 1.2 does with them. Also, the JIT in JDK 1.3 speeds other areas up..at
least that is what some have told me. For those that don't know, the javac
compiler is MUCH faster in JDK1.3. It is almost as fast as Jikes now..which
is pretty darn impressive!
