I've said this before, in another thread. Developer time is more expensive then webservers. If you need to handle large volumes you need to scale the server, not the code. What this means in practice is, you don't give up good engineering principles and sound coding practices in the name of performance, _ESPECIALLY_ in the web environment. It's real simple math too, 1 Developer day is 400-800+. A server is going to run you 1,000-2,000 at least. Now, I can spend a long time optimizing the hell out of code. I don't know how long, and at some point the code just can't be optimized any more, so I could be wasting my time. If optimization goes over 2-3 days.. guess what.. it's cheaper to buy a new server and install it. Another way to look at it is, which would rather have to maintain and modify day to day, a Formula 1 race car, or the family Chevy?[1] But, to answer your question, yes Struts is very performant. [1]Leave the fun and excitement of working on Formula 1 car out of this, it's a financial analysis question :) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
