Java has taken a bit of a pounding lately with the revelation that one survey shows average J2EE application availability was 88%. Yes, that's right... 20 hours of downtime per 7-day week. Rick Ross takes and honest look at what's going on:
Make no mistake, however. Wily is absolutely NOT saying that Java and J2EE are not ready for prime time - they are Java advocates just like we are! Instead, they are making it clear that prevailing practices for designing, deploying, maintaining and debugging these J2EE applications need to change radically to favor better performance and availability for our customers. They are urging us to look at the problem from a broad perspective, too. There's a lot more to it than mere application design and development.
An interesting read, and not just for J2EE developers. There are some universal lessons here.
