[Objectbridge-developers] OJB - faq

[Thomas M. <tho...@ho...>]

Hi Rainer,

Thanks for your interest in OJB. You have a lot of questions, so I
thought you might be interested in the FAQ page that I'm currently
preparing. (see attached html file).

What do you think about my idea regarding using the OJB C/S instead of
the slow DRDA solution? 
I did some performance comparison of the new OS390 JDBC/SQLJ Drivers,
which were quite promising. We reimplemented some COBOL batch jobs in
Java using JDBC. The Java Version (running in the OS390 Unix Services
Environment) was half as fast as the Cobol programs. With some further
optimizations (JDK 1.3 with HotSPot compilation or using HPJ native
compilation) the performance will come quite close to Cobol.

I have also been thinking about exposing the PersistenceBrokerServer not
as a standalone service but running it as a Servlet within the WebSphere
Environment under OS390. So only the ServletEngine and not a proprietary
process must be administrated. If this could be helpful for you please
let me know.

Regarding pluggable Cache and SequenceManager: I've started working on
making them pluggable. This will be part of the next release (within
next 2 weeks).
