That's ridiculous. The comparison between Netscape 4.x and 6.x is not at all relevant, since that's talking about client-side applications. Sure, Java for client side applications has its share of problems, including performance and memory consumption. But Java on the server side is a far different story IMO. It is much lighter-weight, more stable, and faster than most of the common web scripting languages (ASP and ColdFusion for sure, dunno about PHP or Perl).
And in no case have I *ever* seen a server side Java application necessitate a server reboot... it just doesn't happen. If memory did leak (which I haven't personally seen) you'd just need to restart the JVM process itself (in your case, Caucho). Maybe you should just suggest that he try it, and if his concerns do turn out to be true then you can reevaluate your choice of languages. But I would be VERY surprised if it doesn't turn out to be a perfectly stable choice. -jmc =========================================================================== To unsubscribe: mailto [EMAIL PROTECTED] with body: "signoff JSP-INTEREST".
