Howdy,

Good programming is automatically "object-oriented". That's only a fancy
word for clever static subroutines.

None of these are suitable for a heavy use site since they use CGI script
threading and are subject to being trashed. Some hosts will refuse to allow
shopping cart scripts to be installed or make you remove them. You'll be
further ahead to code a multi-threaded compiled executable such as BIZyCart
uses. However, then you run into the problem of being able to install it.

Why do you want to spend hundreds of hours reinventing the wheel? With a
real Ecommerce Server like BIZyCart, you can concentrate on the contents.

I have to agree with Chris (not the individual from bizynet).

If scripted applications were such a problem on sites with heavy
loads, why is Amazon, Ebay, and almost EVERY other major internet
retailer using them.

As for JSP on Windows - no problem. JSP should run on any J2EE
application server (which in turn can run on various platforms that
support the Java SDK) Yes, Windows Server falls into this category.
Simply use Resin, Tomcat, Jetty/JBoss, WebSphere etc etc.

Our Java Shopping Cart product uses JSP and runs successfully on
Windows, Linux, Solaris and any other platform that supports J2EE
standards. Server load is also not an issue with heavily visited sites
running our JSP ecommerce software.

Can you substantiate your claims regarding "None of these are suitable
for a heavy use site"?

I have to correct myself on a previous statement. Ebay is currently
using compiled code on Windows machines. They have recently announced
a switch to Java technology however and are 1/3 done implementation.

As for the statement that compiled code can't run on Linux boxes - it
can. However compiled code that uses Windows dependant functions or
services will not. Compiled executables are not write, once run
anywhere.

Remember, a poorly written executable is just a leathal as a poorly
written script.

As for benchmarking - if you have never run these tests, how can you
make this claim? The more info you can provide the better. I have
never heard this claim before.
