Hello,

I was testing the feasibility of a servlet database where servlet and small object 
database run in the same JVM (sources are in guest.jar at http://www.jdbms.org).

In particular I was testing a scenario where an ISP's web server is hosting the web 
sites for several customers who have the possibility to install their own servlets 
(eg. a guestbook) in a servlet directory.

My conclusion is that ISP's will never allow this. They won't because they have no 
control whatsoever over the amount of RAM the customer's servlets will ultimately eat 
up.

In other words:
servlets may be an interesting technology, but only for dedicated web servers or for 
ISP's installing their own or customized servlets where the ISP has detailed knowledge 
how they work. In this case they might offer (and charge for) RAM as an added-value 
service.

Bye,
Gerhard
