RE: [PHP] PHP vs JSP

Actually, I understand what he's trying to say, even if I don't agree with him. The main problem people have had with load balancing is sessions. If a particular scripting language *cough*ASP stores session information in memory then the load balancing system has to always send the session from a given user to the same server. (during that session) IMHO, the easiest way to do this (without writing your own session handling scheme and then telling people about it but not divulging details!) ;) is to store the session info in a database. Using a central database for all sessions, any server can get to the session info for any user. I've just finished leading a team on a large scale JSP application. While it is slower to develop in (Java has a high learning curve, IMHO) The servlet engine we are using, JRun is fairly fast. Our bottle neck right now seems to be a poorly tuned Oracle database.
