You don't mention the downsides: - every application must be structured to not overwrite session data (you risk saving one user's data in another user's space) - when changing even a single line in your code, you must restart (shutdown and start up) the whole app, closing all user connections and possibly losing all session data, forcing users to relogin. - memory leaks are much more problematic - you must manage threads, somehow, sometime. Application servers have (IMHO) very little advantages (counters, and?) and a lot of disadvantages. All (or nearly all) the advantages of application server have been superseded in PHP (precompiled caches, memcache, gearman, ... nodephp :) without losing its advantages (you can change a single file in the app and the precompiled cache auto-updates. You risk less with memory leaks, etc.) Yes, some things are easier in Java (threading, syncronizing, etc.) but you can always write abstraction classes to do that for you. I don't think I would use a PHP application server, even if it existed. Bye. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
