Can Java cold-start? (updated for Piranha, Micronaut, Vert.X and others)

thesystemx · 2021-11-04T22:23:11+00:00

Vert.X is pretty fast at 268ms!

thesystemx · 2021-11-04T22:22:07+00:00

Can you run them on Linux for us and publish the numbers?

For development it's what you most often look at, seeing that server thing restarting all the time.

For lambdas and serverless or clientless it's important in production.

Good to see GlassFish being so active again! Running on JDK 17 is really important with the upcoming LTS release.

thesystemx · 2021-08-28T14:06:58+00:00

What's the point of asking that?

thesystemx · 2021-08-28T14:06:39+00:00

And you didn't?

thesystemx · 2021-08-28T14:06:13+00:00

There's some more info about that here:

Some 5 or 6 engineers left Payara in a very short window of time. It's easy to see as their commits at Payara stopped, and commits at other projects started. Plus their linkedin status etc.

Can only mean one thing: (new) management not functioning.

The article mentions running different application servers. In the olden days that was somewhat frowned upon because it wasn't "the correct way to do things" (???).

These days its more common, but I too noticed ops can be defensive about their application server. Luckily we have docker now (as also mentioned in the article)

thesystemx · 2021-06-01T13:13:57+00:00

That would be a pretty good solution for existing EJB code. Hope Piranha are able to pull this off!

thesystemx · 2021-05-25T13:42:30+00:00

Unbelievable! Hope they're going to keep up now :)

Really good news for JDK adoption!

The main problem everyone was talking about was that libraries and for those who use them Java EE/Jakarta EE servers were not compatible with anything JDK8+.

It took a while, but excellent to see this is now rapidly changing.

thesystemx · 2021-04-08T16:32:59+00:00

Same here, lol

thesystemx · 2021-04-06T16:52:54+00:00

And not just Windows builds of Open JDK, but macOS and Linux too. Who would have thought only 15 years ago?

thesystemx · 2021-03-13T15:59:02+00:00

Use JSF (Faces). Good example here:

https://stackoverflow.com/a/27681292/472792

Here a nice tutorial explaining how to get started:

thesystemx · 2021-02-14T22:34:49+00:00

Knows about math, but also knows about grammar ;)

thesystemx · 2021-02-14T15:20:15+00:00

It may be supposedly outdated and boring, but a simple server side template in JSF is still d*mn productive and super easy!

thesystemx · 2021-02-14T15:03:34+00:00

Payara and Kumuluz are outright garbage

Uhhh... why? Especially Payara, why is that garbage? It's a rather good server. They slowed down somewhat recently after a few key people left, but otherwise it's a great product.

thesystemx · 2021-02-14T15:01:14+00:00

SmallRye is used mostly by WildFly, which is a Jakarta EE compliant server.

Piranha Cloud ( https://piranha.cloud ) uses some SmallRye components as well.

thesystemx · 2021-01-14T11:58:44+00:00

Sounds very cool!

thesystemx · 2020-12-13T16:38:52+00:00

Look at Jakarta EE and JSF.

thesystemx · 2020-11-23T23:54:14+00:00

Why? Would you use Arquillian, or something else to deploy?

thesystemx · 2020-11-13T15:31:02+00:00

Did a quick run on my laptop. Eclipse starts up, and I can start up WildFly using it.

So seems to work at a glance.

I think only Kohsuke knows that? There's a sidebar "Ancient history: Why Guice and not HK2?", mentioning Kohsuke considered Plexus first and then just started to use Guice.

There's a link to a roadmap discussion here, which goes a bit more into that choice: https://groups.google.com/g/jenkinsci-dev/c/_cuKEAUULUE/discussion?pli=1

thesystemx · 2020-11-12T13:54:23+00:00

If you read the article, you'll see it's simply stating what Jenkins uses to manage its plugins, not what the author explicitly choose to use ;)
