Quest For "Unbreakable Java" Unites ABAP & Java
jg21 writes "Writing an article about "A Java Server That Never Goes Down" is pure hubris, but a German developer who says he's been "eating, sleeping, and drinking Java" for 8 years doesn't seem to care and his article brings to light the aspects of VM we rarely think of as he introduces "user isolation" and tells about some interesting work SAP in Germany is doing in that area, merging the Java and the ABAP worlds."
for making ANYTHING into "Never Goes Down" is a marriage. Dammit.

"eating, sleeping, and drinking Java" for 8 years
I'm getting the shakes even thinking about that.
Ok the Ship analogy was good at first, but this is a little rediculous:
First, it is possible to let the passengers share the ship with some others without meeting them at any time. Some invisible mechanism moves the sleeping passenger out of the ship, storing him or her somewhere outside and puts another active passenger into it, taking care that only one active passenger is in each ship at any moment.
From the given examples, it looks like a mix of Cisc assembly language, Cobol and Basic :(
What does he mean "Titanic"? Software is like a car, not a boat!
"Normally less than 10 percent of the users connected to a system are actively sending requests; the others are thinking about their next action or typing in some data at the front end (thinking users)."
Thinking users?!?! I didn't know this article was supposed to be funny!

Yay, I think you invented ISAPI.
