Choosing open source app server for linux

2001-06-13 Thread kevin1

Hello all,
First, I have no budget for this...  :)
Having said that - I need to come up with an app server that handles message
driven beans and is open source, and is enterprise capable (we're expecting
massive traffic) .  I have narrowed things down to Enhydra or Jboss.  We run a
clustered solution here, and that must be factored into the decisions - Java is
not popular here ( superstition ) and I have to have this working soon.  Which
app server should I go with? Enhydra or Jboss?  Any suggestions?  Please help.

Thanks in advance

jdk 1.3.0 / sparc

2001-06-13 Thread Marcus Crafter

Hi All,

Hope all is well.

We've just noticed that the Blackdown JDK 1.3.0 for sparc is available
and have installed it on our E250 system.

Great work, but I wanted to ask what performance expectations we
should have ? Our tests have shown that the Blackdown sparc JDK 1.2.2
is faster than the JDK 1.3.0 ? Could this be right ?

A compile of our Java application using JDK 1.2.2 takes about 1
minute, with the JDK 1.3.0 it takes about 4 minutes. :-(

Is this expected ? Any ideas about how to improve this ?

Cheers,

Marcus

zip utility

2001-06-13 Thread Steven Rubenstein

does anyone know of a zip (not gzip or bzip2) utility that will run in 
linux?  i ask this since sun publishes their html jdk documentation as a 
zip file.  (on the other hand, is the documentation for the jdk 1.3.1 
available anywhere as a gzip or bzip2 file?)

thanks

sjr

It should be on the mirrors now, indeed.

Yes, performance can be increased since:
1) there is currently no hotspot in sparc jdk 1.3.0
2) some parts were compiled without optimization in order to bypass a
compiler problem.

The intention was to go to 1.4 immediately, and to skip improvements on
1.3.0 or 1.3.1. Unless people really require it...

The utility you want is called "zip". It tends to be installed with
any distro, but if you're missing it, it's easy to find. You can also
unpack zipfiles with the Java "jar" utility.

You could write one in Java :-)

or:

http://www.info-zip.org/pub/infozip/

RedHat installs with this.  Type "unzip" on your CLI and you may
discover you already have it!

Red Hat 6.2 contains packages:

unzip-5.40-2
zip-2.3-4

These are not gzip or bzip2.

Jar files are in the Zip file format, so you can use the JDK jar tool to
extract the documentation .zip files.

Sun also makes the jdk docs available in gzip and compress formats.
You don't have to download zip if you don't want to.  I don't.

See the 'select format' button?

I'd really like to see 1.3.1 for sparc linux running with hotspot.  I 
have need to run a system on it that requires 1.3 and 1.3 ONLY.  It 
won't run on 1.2.2 and most likely, it won't run on 1.4 since 1.4 
breaks JDBC.  Even if the changes needed would be trivial, it's a 
moot point since the system I wish to run is proprietary and without 
source.  I assume someone out there has a working sparc-linux 
development machine, but I'd be willing to spare a temporary account 
on my own if it would help get a hotspot runtime running.

Try using "jar".  Jarfiles are zipfiles with a strange extension
and an optional layout convention.
