Quest For "Unbreakable Java" Unites ABAP & Java

Posted by Hemos on from the its-a-festivus-miracle dept.

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.

    • run fewer users per VM
    • run more VM's
    • use "shared closures" (fast oo serialization) to get idle users out of the VM's and,
    • use Apple's Shared Classes to reduce memory footprint (needs java 1.5)

    This sound like it's at least as much about fast and effective recovery on crash as it is crash prevention. Which to a web user is the same thing.

    All VM's have bugs so crash-proof is a tall order.
