Joe, First off, you seem to take a great deal of pleasure in explaining the past (C++ or Borland's w.r.t Paradox for example) but I fail to see the relevance of those topics to the [technical] discussion at hand.
Second, you've shrugged off a lot of the content of my writeup as 'buzzwords' and 'sales brochure material'. But I've yet to notice any [technical] arguments to substantiate any of your claims (are there any?). Third, Java is and probably will always be slower than C/C++, but surely that is not the issue at hand. Nor is the future of any kind of technology or its anticipated acceptance/usage in N years from now. I am a technical guy and so are my posts to this forum. So lets keep it at that. This interest list is quite specific to EJBs and so was my earlier post. Many don't believe in EJBs and it is not my intention to start an "To EJB or not to EJB" debate. My posting was quite specific and was meant to dispel some of the common misconceptions people seem to have regarding entity beans (in a lot of projects using EJBs). I also fail to see the relevance of a DVD driver using BMP/CMP entity beans that you referred to earlier. If you do not see the advantages of EJBs, then start an "An EJB or not to EJB" debate. Lastly, regarding BMP vs CMP performance number comparison, it is based on empirical data. ECperf kits are now being made available by several vendors (including us), so feel free to download and give BMP vs CMP a whirl. (Btw, to save you some time, I should point out that all ECperf submissions till date have been based on the CMP version of the benchmark and not BMP. Why do you suppose that is the case?) -krish PS (not to be mistaken for sarcasm): Surely, it wouldn't take a week to configure connection pooling for an AppServer. Have you tried the technical newsgroups of that vendor? Or examples bundled with that AppServer? (Or try Borland Enterprise Server ;) =========================================================================== To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and include in the body of the message "signoff EJB-INTEREST".
