Thread: persistent JDBC connections with a daemon
Hi, I have a very small Java application that connects to a remote host's DB and does a simple query. I don't want to install a big framwork like Tomcat just to do this one task, but it is pretty slow as it is running though a CGI wrapper, and the startup time of the JVM is pretty noticeable. I do know that there is a daemon tools project from the Jakarta project, and that there is also a Posix libary for Java. But I can't seem to find an example of anyone acutlay using those to make a java daemon. The whole reason I am using Java at all is because of JDBC, I tend to think that Java itself can take a flying leap, except that I just drool over JDBC, love it, love it! So if any of you have any pointers or URLs that would be great. Thanks, Eric (250) 655 - 9513 (PST Time Zone) "Inquiry is fatal to certainty." -- Will Durant
Hi,
This may not help you at all but this artical talks about
*Compiling Java with GCJ.*
Which improves performance.

Eric, Just create a class, put a main in it, and loop forever? That's all there is to it, unless I'm missing something.

Hi, Comunicating with the outside world(UNIX) is what you would be missing, that is what Posix is about. But I was finding it a little daunting. I have to be able to send to or pipe to it from shell applications, but once you run a normal app like you suggest, it gets its args[] and then how do you change them for the next query? thanks, Eric At 07:01 PM 1/11/03 -0500, Dave Cramer wrote: >Eric, > >Just create a class, put a main in it, and loop forever? > >That's all there is to it, unless I'm missing something. > >Dave >On Sat, 2003-01-11 at 14:59, Eric Frazier wrote: >> Hi, >> >> I have a very small Java application that connects to a remote host's DB and >> does a simple query.

Three options that I am aware of: 1)reading from stdin works, or 2)open a tcpip port and do request through that. 3)modify a file, and signal it (never done this, but I think it works) Dave On Sat, 2003-01-11 at 16:39, Eric Frazier wrote: > Hi, > > Comunicating with the outside world(UNIX) is what you would be missing, that > is what Posix is about.
