Forum OpenACS Q&A: Response to ns_java / ns_javablend

Posted by Dan Wickstrom on
As far as using jacl, I couldn't disagree more.  Tclblend is designed to integrate with c-code, so it's a nice fit with aolserver as an independent module.  To use jacl, you would have to reimplement aolserver in java, which would probably result in an aolserver clone that performed quite poorly, but had good integration support for java.  It would be a huge task that wouldn't be worth the effort.  Removing the memory leaks from tclblend would be a much easier task by comparison, and the use of ns_javablend would allow you to easily integrate java and tcl within aolserver.
