Hello Michael,
Understand the concern, java is an essential technology for mission-critical applications. For example, my last position before moving back to the Philippines was as a senior technology manager/systems manager for WellsFagro Bank - managing the development of their strategic b2b wholesale banking portal. For example, I this system went from about 1,000 to 11,000++ business clients in eight months and provided essential banking services like wire transfer, stop payment services and intraday reporting. Java helped enable our team replace an information builders reporting server that was having considerable problems scaling and keeping pace with report requests - despite using one sun e10k server with eight CPU's: The result was a considerable performance enhancement and strategic advantage taking reporting time from over three minutes to less then 30 seconds! Hope this helps provide one good example of mission-critical applications using java technology. Best Regards, Dave Moen On 2/18/02 9:40 PM, "Michael C.
