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

Scott,

I get your point but I am more saying that there should be no reason
why IBMi can't facilitate a ton of concurrent users as it stands. Not
looking to ask IBM to make some major mods to their machine, I am just
thinking that we probably already have most of the capabilities we
need with the way the existing OS handles "caching programs" and
"caching jobs". Know what I mean?

You should do what's appropriate to _your_ situation.

My company has been in business for 56 years, and we have around 500
employees.  The odds that it'll ever grow into something that requires
100,000 users is obnoxiously small.   We don't even have 100,000
customers, much less 100,000 employees using the software.

The extra money, time, and efforts it would take to produce software
that supported 100,000 users is really not practical or worthwhile for
my shop.

Similarly, I don't drive a bus to work. After all, there's only me in
the car, it doesn't really make sense to drive a bus.  If my situation
ever changes, and I do need to bring 40 friends with me, then I'll buy
the bus at _that_ time.
