We are currently using CORBA and mod_perl for scaleable access to databases. The setup is: Web-server: Apache::ASP and client-side COPE. App-server: COPE and DBI. We use COPE instead of CORBA::ORBit, as COPE runs just nicely on Digital Unix (which we use) and ORBit is a hassle to port. There are some not-to-nice mismatches here and there, especially in the errorhandling - COPE, DBI and Apache::ASP use 3 different strategies and it cvan be quite cumbersome to get things running smoothly -not impossible though. We hope to gain: - better scaleability: we can add more servers whenever a bottelneck appears, - better security: the acces to the database is guarded by the app-servers (who validate user access etc), - better modularity: the ASP-coders are mainly concered with appearance and user-dialog, the app-servers handle the buisness logic. Until now it seems to hold true. -- Henrik Tougaard, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Forbundet af Offentligt Ansatte, Copenhagen, Denmark.
