This seems like a useful article. At work we were just discussing the possibilities of using the GWT. Currently we use NextApp's Echo1 and are also pondering upgrading to Echo2. The demo app for Echo2 is actually mighty impressive; I'd say moreso than GWT's. Though I wonder how much of it is just more time spent on fancy graphics as opposed to a better quality framework.
i don't think that java is slow; i actually think that BDB JE is slow (at least the previous version). i had to use it to build a p2p search engine for a class and in most cases, it turned out to be our bottleneck. after large numbers of records i found that its whole commit-log thing was taking quite a long time; and it's nigh impossible to find others with the same problem and a solution (i found a guy with 8 million records that never got a response to his problem). personally, this was enough to make me dislike BDB in all cases.

Little does anyone realize that the 20 is really in Base 36.
