It has been a couple of years since I moved (from in-house hosting) my Java based web applications to using an outside company.<\/p>\n
When I was hosting my little apps from my Windows 2000 server (using Caucho Resin,) on a DSL connection, I never had a problem … probably because it was so small.<\/p>\n
Since growing and moving to Tomcat on Linux, I’ve found that Java is not the most stable thing … it is not uncommon for Tomcat to lock up. <\/p>\n
Contrast this to my PHP based applications (WordPress for example) and I have yet to experience a problem. <\/p>\n
THE JAVA FACADE <\/strong><\/p>\n The Java community loves design patterns (they need them with that overly engineered Frankenstein of a language …) so I’m sure they’ll understand this -> Java is heavy, whenever you start a Java process it like putting on 50 pounds – it slows you down.<\/p>\n The Java facade is the claim that Java is a light nimble thing … the JVM that is. It is not anymore. It once was say back in 1997.<\/p>\n I always wondered why Sun (a billion dollar company) could not get Java Applets to work whereas the relatively tiny company Macromedia, could with the Flash player? <\/p>\n … I’m ranting, so sorry.<\/p>\n CPANEL IS SCARED OF JAVA<\/strong><\/p>\n Funny, when you activate Tomcat to work with a domain on CPANEL, it gives you a warning about how much juice Java swallows up … and warns against enabling too many Java based websites. It doesn’t say jack about PHP …<\/p>\n JAVA’S FUTURE IS IN LEGACY<\/strong><\/p>\n It seems a contradiction, but I think that’s where it’s at. Java will become (strictly) a technology of the Enterprise (and legacy integration) while nimble languages like PHP and Ruby will be used to create the new innovative software.<\/p>\n Why?<\/strong><\/p>\n PHP and Ruby programmers can (and do) code circles around Java developers. You can’t blame the Java developers: the Titanic couldn’t turn on a dime either!<\/p>\n Zing!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It has been a couple of years since I moved (from in-house hosting) my Java based web applications to using an outside company.
