This might seem like a stupid question, but can someone explain how ns_java fits into the "OACS server architecture"? What other existing products or technologies would it be similar to, and/or what would be its strengths and weaknesses compared to other technologies?
I'm currently getting into Java myself and I'm interested in how ns_java might be used to complement and extend the existing toolkit, but it hasn't been too clear to me how it fits into the big picture.
