It's not directly applicable to this issue, but it _is_ interesting. The Dynamo 2.0 application server was licensed to Javasoft - you can get it free from javasoft. 3.0 cost $ unless you go to a free seminar... http://www.atg.com. You can also buy packaged setups like Retail Station for, hummm. $20,000 or so. In short, it's a second server that can be linked via a module with Apache, or run standalone. It allows you to write code inside an html page, similarly to PHP. The first time you run the page, Dynamo compiles it into a java program, and it is fast thereafter - not sure how fast compared to PHP, perl-mod, etc. The Sony Station ( http://station.sony.com, maybe?? - Where Wheel of Fortune & Jeopardy live ) is running Dynamo. 12 million hits a day. 'Course, they're running 6 Sparc E-series computers..., two of which are running Sybase, two running Dynamo, and two running Netscape server. geb
