[Jython-dev] My long blurb

[Derek L. <do...@ge...>]

Hello devs,

    I work for a small custom application corporation which sells very =
specialised software e.i. Warehousing Applications, Import/Export (CB) =
Systems, General Ledger Software and a list of other very dry littles.  =
In any case we are looking to port our applications to windows and =
having come from a C/Java background myself I am inclined to use a Java =
based solution.  For a while now I have been following the development =
of Jython with much anticipation and well, I have to know, in your =
opinion can Jython handle the following.

If I code the Client/Server in Jython, under optimal (meaning my code =
isn't crap) conditions can I expect resonable memory performance with =
50+ client connected. or. Will a Jython implemented server have problems =
handling the resources for 50+ clients due to some inherant architecture =
scheme, an example would be Visual Basic, it's great for small =
applications but when it comes to large business applications your up a =
creek without a paddle.   Also the application requires heavy database =
access, 40+ tables with nearly a half million records, and to top it =
off, I might have to tie this monster into a Legacy System (which runs =
on an AS400).  Not to mention the clients want all the bells and =
whistles afforded to Java.

My primary concern is memory usage and stability (these people don't =
like it when their payables don't process correctly) ;P

Thanks in advance,
Derek

P.S.    I forgot to mention, the actual program itself is comprised of =
about 100-150 screens (yeesh) and Python scripting is looking really =
really appealing...
