	Hi,

	Do you have a good JVM then, that makes server side applications built
in Java stable?

	I can do a fairly good job of making them rock solid, but I have to use
workarounds and pander to the insane limitations and poor design of the
Sun JVM on a regular basis to do so.

	I do not make such concessions for the Perl, C/C++ or even the PHP I
write (though I'll admit that PHP has caused more than a few issues
since when it goes it has a tendancy to take Apache worker threads with it.)

	Java... it was a good idea, but it has never achieved that ideal. Give
me a call when it does.

	Best regards,
