You work on the IBMi but don't know what commitment control is?!
This is pretty old but it holds water:

Going back to your previous point, I am not sure that "embedding" RPG in the Apache binary is going to make much sense (in the way it might for scripted languages like Perl and PHP).
I hope Bent is not losing track of my original question :-)

Hi Thorbjørn;
There is nothing wrong with apache!! it is a fantastic web-server... The problem is the CGI part and fact that apache is well suited for running thread where you in RPG normally would like to have a process - namely a IBMI job. So typical you have to (re) design you app to relocate resources whenever you have a new request from the "next" session. Which again makes i.e. commitment control almost impossible - or at least a nightmare..
Some have implemented persistence in CGI ( now we are only talking ILE/RPG/COBLE - and down that road) however, that just adds to the CGI overhead.
So the 10-factor holds in IceBreak. It is, however, more in the manner - 10 times less resources is needed due to the added unnecessary stuff applied to your code and due to the number of layers.
Hi Niels.
I am not doubting your figures. I just try to understand how it happens.
Sorry for not understanding this immediately, but I am not very familiar
with how the non-Java things work on the i. Does this mean that you map
each session to its own IBM i job, and let it keep state from invocation
to make it very fast to handle each response? And said job is then
finished when the session expires?
But I do not understand what you mean by "commitment control". Could
you elaborate?
