I've read that people have been able to use Clojure with some of the Java web servers. I am not familiar with any Java web servers or web frameworks and wonder if anyone who knows more about them can advise me. FWIW I'm also not familiar with load balancing or multi-server setups for web applications.
We are looking to develop a largish web application that may move a lot of data and potentially have a lot of users. Maybe a couple hundred thousand page hits a day, maybe a million - it's too early to tell. I've developed some smaller web applications using Common Lisp, but I'm not confident that any of the CL web servers (CL-HTTP, Hunchentoot, AllegroServe, Araneida, mod_lisp, et al) are up to handling high traffic high data sites. (Maybe they are, I just don't know). So, now that we are considering developing a considerably larger one I'm looking for something suitable strong to build it upon. I've heard good things about some of the Java web frameworks (WebWork, Tapestry, etc) but, again, know nothing about them - and I'd rather program in a Lisp. Does anyone know how good any of the CL web servers are at handling high traffic? What are my options if I were to go with Clojure? How solid and scalable are they going to be? What questions am I not asking and should be? Thanks, Chris Perkins Media Lab, Inc. PS - I've worked in Java in the past, and authored three different commercial products in it, but the last time I touched it was in 2004 and I've never done a web app with Java. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
