Re: Which scales better? J2EE, PHP, or CGIDEV2?

Nathan,

Just to complete the quote and put it in full context...

"The issue here is how to identify high, medium, and low, and I'm afraid
there is no easy answer to that. It all depends on what the application
is doing.

Hardware also has a large say in the proceedings. An application running
on a Power 7 machine runs faster than the same application running on
Power 5.

So, unless you have specific application knowledge that would lead you
in one direction or another, I would let ease of maintenance and
development be your guide."

The language relevance has more to do with an application distributed
over multiple servers (which is what you usually have with "high") and,
apparently, J2EE play a bit better in that world than PHP or RPG.

FWIW my own personal preferences are PHP and RPG - simply from the point
of view of ease of maintenance.

Quoted from Get Thee to the Web, Part 3 by Paul Tuohy:

"Scalability relates to how many people will be accessing your

application at

the same time, and how well your application can handle the workload

without

detrimental response times. Usually, you would use Java for high usage,

PHP for

medium, and CGIDEV2 for below medium."

What makes people THINK that J2EE scales better than PHP, and PHP scales

better

than CGIDEV2? Is that thinking correct?
