[Fwd: Re: [PHP-DEV] PHP's vision]

I admit I haven't been following this thread closely, but I agree and don't think PHP should be trying to write a transaction system itself. I do think it should try to interface with existing systems tho so PHP can become the front-end for them. I have a good start on a Tuxedo interface (php-tuxedo.sourceforge.net) if you are interested.

    Twisting your words a bit: You don't think PHP should be used 

for such

tasks ??

No I definitely don't. And in most cases I wouldn't use J2EE either

but I'd

use a C++ App server. There are also performance problems with J2EE App servers but often company's clients require J2EE.

    Would you write that C++ App server yourself or use some existing one?
    (just wondering whether there is some open source c++ app server around..)

Most people I know who are working in these kind of demanding environments (soft real-time requirements) have written these themselves. I don't know of any open source ones except for ACE which isn't a complete app server but gives you a framework to start on. BEA's Tuxedo is a commercial example. Andi
