Re: [ILUG-BOM] [OT] J2EE vs LAMP

>IMHO, J2EE and LAMP differ largely in scalability and complexity. J2EE >is more targeted towards complex applications, while LAMP is more >suitable for small - medium scale web applications. I agree, J2EE does scale very well. It is also easy to design very flexible solutions with J2EE. Resource consumption is a downside, however for small to mid sized applications, it is possible to avoid the EJB route, and simple use an application framework such as Expresso, and deploy the solution on Tomcat. This reduces resources consumption significantly. >LAMP should be sufficient for a low complexity application and MySQL >would be the first thing to become a limiting factor in load taking >capacity, provided the hardware and network are capable enough. FYI, >sourceforge.net is done in PHP with DB2 having replaced MySQL not too >long ago. I guess LAMP would suffice for the Project Management >Application. Yes I think so too. LAMP would be a good choice for a small scale project management solution. Also there are good PHP based open source applications such as PHPCollab and TUTOS to use as a base. >Personally, I am also planning to look into C++ with XML as a platform >for enterprise applications and web services.

Oh, but my opinion may be biased due to my perennial >rant against Java, the platform. ;) Are the libraries available in C++ for enterprise applications as extensive as J2EE? I think most people choose J2EE because of the huge array of libraries/components available, which they can leverage right away. Another reason in favour of Java is automatic garbage collection. This makes it easier to create more robust applications. Does C++ have something equivalent. I have used Java for quite some time and have found it to be a reasonably good platform to use. However I have never used C++ to build enterprise level applications, so I am not familiar with it's strenghts. Java does have shortcomings, mainly those of speed. However there are ways to work around them. My biggest issue with Java used to be that Sun released too many libraries too soon without really ensuring quality. Though I believe they have become better at that. I am curious to know your reasons for disliking Java and preferring C++ :-) -- regards Parag Shah Adaptive Software Solutions http://www.adaptivesoftware.biz

If you have source of the application (which is more likely in case of old fox* based applications), you can use compilers like, Free Max 2.0 Xbase Compiler or Flagship and compile it under linux.

RE: [ILUG-BOM] About LAMP query

Hi Gurus, > From: Philip S Tellis > > You should probably look at HTML::Template for your HTML > Templates, and > PDF::Template for your PDF Templates. As what my reading goes about this query is when to use LAMP and when J2EE?? For this, many of the Gurus suggested that for mid/small size projects, the best option available is LAMP over J2EE and for bigger enterprise applications, go for J2EE. So, my question here is - the person who wanted to get this for some school database for managing reports and all, how much feasible to use this LAMP? As may be currently he'll implement it for some standards like 9th and 10th...but later it might need to generalised for the whole school. Similar situation can happen with any other application, where we might start off with LAMP considering it as mid/small project, but later when it need to work out on a bigger scale, how much feasible it's to put an effort on portaility of the application? Just wanted to knw the effort estimates for scaling general LAMP application (apprxly. percent of time) over the application which has been developed in J2EE. Hope all concerned Gurus understand my query, if not feel free to mail me. Best Regards, --Yogesh R Upadhye. Asia Pacific Practice Unit, Pune DC.

About LAMP query
by Kamlesh Parmar 10 Sep '03

10 Sep '03

I have gone through all the post related to LAMP... I feel, I should give more details regarding nature of automated system required... So that I can get some specific pointers... System Requirement: 1. It will be mainly a small 3000 to 5000 record database with student details 2. As of now, main application of it is to generate exam grade reports... 3. And it should be able to give concise & well formatted reports, which could be printed on ordinary printers 4. The periodic backup of records, if it can be integrated in automation system, rather than relying on OS level backup. According to me, there are three main parts of the system, 1) Data Entry of records 2) Algorithm to generate reports based on schools grading logic 3) Report Generation & Printing My View * 1st & 3rd part functions should be extremely user friendly. * Business logic should be isolated into module of its own, and tightly secured. (I don't know how?) * Report generation will be multilingual (English, Gujarati), so better printing support. Now, 1) If at all LAMP is feasible? If yes, how can LAMP setup be utilized? 2) Application should be Desktop based or web based? Regards, Kamlesh Parmar
