I'm all for picking on bloated J2EE app servers, but this is a pretty silly article. I'm not going to get too far into it here, but I think I'll write something about it on my use.perl.org journal. The main problem with the "ActiveGrid" system this company is promoting is that scaling web apps to multiple machines is a solved problem, at least in terms of basic load-balancing and failover stuff. The hard part is shared data, which they are not addressing from what I can see. - Perrin --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
