want Java on x10

[deadimp]

I guess it'd be good to have more options, but I'm not much of a Java fan.
It just might be a hassle to handle the servers, though. I don't know how easy/hard it is to integrate JSP on Apache (which I is what I'm guessing these servers run), and I doubt the staff would want to handle different server types.

i think u need to integrate java by putting tomcat on apache anyway i think there are fairly standard ways of doing it. Corey/ management - any chance of Java - at least on a test basis to see if it picks up?

What is Java?

 

[tgkprog]

Its a programming language / platform. http://java.sun.com/ it supports server side websites ... via J2EE - JSP - whats what I want.

it is not javascript .

it is what most handsets have (j2me) it is applets (the irc chat applet is an example - the new x10 chat system - but that is client side java - loads and runs on browser)

its a platform independant language same code runs on mac, linux, windows ...

It is a good idea to have Java and Tomcat.

Free? I mean cause tomcat is free and all...

Tomcat is free so better it should be free

Why don't you put a "No." option up their, because I don't

I wouldn't mind it, but I'm not on free either so the fact that introducing Java could mean a hell of a lot more system instability due to high memory/cpu usage (which takes some time to get suspended for I might add, so the server would be unstable while the user got away with it) doesn't really bug me.

The problem is how many accounts and active users are actually using the free servers - adding Java just sounds like a recipe for disaster to me when we're MAYBE on the last stretch of fixing January's rather explosive MySQL issues.
