Re: When will IBM practice what they preach?

Kevin,

Connection pooling is very important for good speeds with java apps. But you'll never beat native DB IO... If done right, it will be close, though after everything has "fired up".

Remember you're also comparing an interpreted language to a compiled language. And something running in a VM as compared to native.

The good thing is that you chose Tomcat. :)

Brad,

I've been doing some iSeries jsp stuff using tomcat on a linux box -
connecting to the 400 database with connection pooling in place.

I would be interested in your view of the performance comparison with CGI.

I runs like hell - the iSeries is a wicked database server - and tomcat on
linux runs like hell as well - and of course it costs nothing.

Cheers

I personally haven't, but I just signed up today to be a PWD to see what
that's all about... when it asked for my phone number and email I was
aprehensive. Since I have a VoIP line for situations like that, I gave
them that number... if I start getting a lot of calls from non IBM, I
can assure that they are selling the info. If I get a lot of calls from
them, then I know they are still trying to sell sell sell...

On another note, I've received at least 2 emails in the past couple
weeks from AS/400 programmers asking if it's true what their IBM reps
are telling them. That RPGCGI programs are slower and cause more
hardware resource use than Websphere.

Each time I about dropped to the floor not knowing how to express my
dismay that they are now actually telling lies to try and sell their
product... I keep thinking maybe they're leaving out the fine print:

"Tests performed for CGI were on a 150 with 2meg of memory and 5gig of
DASD and Judy from accouting running the query from hell, Websfear tests
performed on a 12 way with 100gig of memory and 100 terrabytes of dasd
and no other applications running. Websfear times do not include
starting of the websphere application server."

Even so, it would be close.. LOL!
