Thread: Problems Compiling eRserver
I'm trying to build erserver_v1.2 on a SuSE 8.2 server.

Are you sure that's the right one? You actually need to be pointing
to spi.h, IIRC. But that's not your problem.

The problem is you have a corrupt xerces.jar file. Check the current
CVS head out instead of using the one you have.
BTW, there's a list just for erserver. You'll probably get better
help there. I suggest noodling around the erserver site, because the
archive has an explanation of this.

I would like to hear about any issues related to erserver. I was a little concerned about its use of Java. Java is a great tool for creating application frameworks for the payroll department, but using it for back-end system-level application programming is a bit unnerving. Java is generally slow, memory and CPU intensive and doesn't provide for tight integration like C/C++ applications. Thanks

Just a comment on Java, not quite related to your post, Renney. It is by
no means intended as a flamebait, I would just like to remind you all that
the times when Java was a memory and cpu hog are generally almost over.
I see this kind of attitude on a daily basis, and it almost kind of makes
me sad, because the illusion that people accepting such a stance regarding
ANY tool have put upon themselves is really hurting themselves in the end,
as it's usually related to anecdotal and outdated evidence, but most of all,
heresy and lack of real proof (not of slowness in this case, hehe, ANYONE
can write a bad program :)).
The fact you need a 20-30% faster cpu to have Java apps working as smoothly
as they would if one used a C application (and i won't even _attempt_ to
mention C++ here, because it is, in my not-so-humble opinion, far worse than
Java), is contrasted by the massive cut in development time, manpower needed
to do the job and the number of bugs produced during the development period.
Double free() crash due to a missing #ifdef? Eeew. Sorry for you, lad.
As with all development tools, this is mainly a "the right tool for the
right job" issue, no doubt, and I sure as hell wouldn't want to write a
realtime application in Java, but the man doing it has no less to do with
it than the job itself. A good programmer can compensate for the loss in
execution time in far less than the time they'd have used for debugging a
tool developed in C.
There are many performance and optimization documents and books for Java,
but it is not a "tweak" that will make your Java program work fast. You need
to be capable of performing a bit more profound "pirouette" in your mind.
Java programming is quite unlike any C/C++ programming. Sure, you can write
Java programs the way you'd do it in C, but that's never going to get you
far, performance-wise. A Java Virtual Machine is such an advanced beast
that you really need to get to know it better before you can talk about its
"general slowness", and write it off for its "memory and CPU intensiveness"
alone.
There are many design-pattern-level books that make it possible for one to
realize where the true power of both the Java VM and Java as a programming
language is though, and develop fast, scalable and reliable applications in
Java as well. One amongst those definitely worth mentioning would surely be
Doug Lea's "Concurrent programming in Java - Design principles and patterns",
and it coming from the insiders themselves, I can assure you that it really
is worth a look.
One has to decide one's interested and truely wants to find something useful
in a tool though, before one can see its true value.
Hope this helped.

I can't comment on exactly how eRserver benchmarks. But your comments on Java are sadly misplaced, maybe '95 esque. You'll find that allot of the misconceptions around java as a language stem from crtique with in roots from the frist widely accessible virtual machine 1.0.2. Many of the so called performance issues have long since been resolved which is quite miraculous for a language a little over 8 years old. You'll also be pleased to find that many different virtual machine perform very differently to the free sun hotspot virtual machine, some such as TowerJ allow for enhanced compile to platform capabitilities though of course you loose platform independence. But thats not an issue for everyone. I could list the urban myths perpetuated about Java's performance, but as this is not a Java developers list I think its out of place. As for using eRserver, we decided against it and for clients that require clustered highly available datagroups, we recommend oracle. I would not say it was its performance or reliability per se, but rather support, tools that lacked for someone who had different needs to our regular uses who are quite happy with Postgre.

There are things about Java that cause me concern, but I would dispute this being the total story. The thing about database-based applications is that they wind up hitting the _database_ pretty hard. And when the bulk of the work is database queries, where it's _PostgreSQL_ doing the work, it's not Java that is likely to be the bottleneck. Replication is certainly no exception to this. The bulk of replication work takes place in the database. In extreme cases, there _may_ be Java-based bottlenecks to be found, but that doesn't seem to be the typical case. In addition, I think you're looking at Java as how it was 4 years ago. Sun has relearned some of the things about garbage collection learned 15 years earlier in the Lisp community. They have built larger sets of compiled-to-machine-language libraries akin to LIBC, so that increasing portions of "system calls" are run as plenty fast compiled code. And JIT means that raw Java isn't as slow as it used to be. -- let name="cbbrowne" and tld="libertyrms.info" in String.concat "@" [name;tld];; <http://dev6.int.libertyrms.com/> Christopher Browne (416) 646 3304 x124 (land)

And JIT means that raw Java isn't as slow as it used to be. By no means. I find it amusing the number of people who, because java didn't live up to their interpretation of the original hype (nothing could, really), don't realize how popular and entrenched it is in certain areas. No, there aren't web-enabled word processors and whatnot everywhere like Sun tried to make everyone believe, but its huge in the server/DB/web delivery world. There are tradeoffs, of course. But such is the story of life. As for java being a "great tool for creating application frameworks for the payroll department", well, my version of an "application framework for a payroll department" manages about $90 billion in assets, so it must be a little bit up to the task :). > -- > let name="cbbrowne" and tld="libertyrms.info" in String.concat "@" > [name;tld];; > <http://dev6.int.libertyrms.com/> > Christopher Browne > (416) 646 3304 x124 (land) > > ---------------------------(end of > broadcast)--------------------------- > TIP 7: don't forget to increase your free space map settings > -------------------- Andrew Rawnsley President The Ravensfield Digital Resource Group, Ltd.
