James Gosling: on the Java Road
Wednesday November 08, 2006
Is it safe to use doc.java.sun.com?
One of the commentators on my last blog entry asked if it was safe to do translations: would they be lost? It is pretty safe. I can't guarantee anything, but no translation has ever been lost. The way the database works is extremely reliable. The server is in a very safe server room. The disks are 3-way redundant. Running load tests on the server software on my laptop, it can do almost 2000 pages per second - and the real server is a lot faster. So yea... It's safe. It can take a pounding. I've got a to-do list a mile long, but the translation database won't get trashed.

I'd want to attract your attention, but don't know whether here is approciate..
That I had developed an object oriented database system, Native for Java! I'd want you to check out: http://tob.ableverse.org
But this may be a little earlier, since I hadn't done the ORKM paper and a tutorial for it. However, I'd want you first have a look at http://www.webofweb.net this is the blue print/validation project of TOB, and I released the latest source code to http://wow.dev.java.net under CDDL.
I'd want www.webofweb.net be hosted by SUN! Or a donated T2000/T1000 server from SUN. The rationality is described at https://wow.dev.java.net/files/documents/5780/43791/Proposal-SUN-host-WoW.txt
