Hi,
I am working extensively with servlets on health care
intranets. Even though my own code is 99% accurate, there
are times when the servlet engines bugs hits me in the face
and I have to find a fix! This set me thinking that compared
to the old days when you wrote native .exe programs, the dependency of current progs on server software etc does carry
some risk on a major project (Its not entirely your code!)
I also dabble in C++ as a hobby and I have written a native tcp/ip server program which on request can instantiate a C++
class from a dynamically loaded library,
thread the same and
call service method just like a servlet engine and eliminate
the drawacks of cgi.
I wonder why the big guns dont explore this possibility ...
Any comments?
