Subject: JPanel Preliminary Survey Results
Dear JPanel Member:
We would like to take the opportunity to thank all JPanel members who have participated in the JPanel surveys. The information you provided is very important to us. We thought you might be interested in receiving some information about some of the completed surveys. Information about the JSP/Servlets survey, the JDBC survey, and the Java Client and Java Server surveys is provided below.
Thank you,
JPanel
*******************************************************************************************************
JSP/Servlets
The JSP/Servlets product team received some fantastic feedback from their survey. Among the things we have learned about our user population are:
- You are using at least two servlet engines with apache's Jserv, the JSWDK and JRUN taking top honors.
- You believe the most important benefits of JSP and Servlets are portability across servers and OSs, easy creation of web sites, easy connectivity with databases, and that they are supported industry wide.
- The majority of you want updates to the technology every 6 months.
- More than anything you would like to see application examples and sample code as well as additional documentation and benchmarks.
- Standard debugging support and better XML support are the features you would most like to see implemented.
- A large majority of you use a text editor as your primary authoring tool, followed closely by Inprise's JBuilder and Microsoft's Front Page.
JDBC
The JDBC API development team are thankful to the panelists who took the time to give us their feedback. We are pleased to note that in general, the current release of the JDBC API meets the developers' needs, and we will carefully analyze your suggestions for the next version of the specification.
Some interesting findings:
- The majority of developers (68%) are working on production-level (rather than planning, prototyping, evaluating) Java/JDBC projects
- 75% JDBC developers also use or plan to use XML in the near future.
- 76% applications access data in an n-tier architecture.
- 86% more developers are expected to use JDBC 2.x within a year from now. JDBC will continue to be the most popular data access technology, even though the use of SQLJ will soar.
- All-Java (type 4) is the most popular driver type (70% respondents).
- XML support, transparent driver loading, and RowSet implementations are some of the most requested features to be implemented.
- Those of you who are using a database modeling tool favor Erwin (43%).
- All JDBC 2.x features were almost equally important, but Connection Pooling was at the top of the list.
- By far, Sun's and JDBC vendors' web sites are most important sources of information about JDBC.
Java Client & Java Server
Thank you so much for taking the time to take the recent Java Client and Server surveys. The results were viewed by senior management, marketing, architects, engineers, and quality, and is being used to help define the requirements for the next release of Java.
Here are some of the more interesting findings from your answers:
- Current Browser share = Netscape 55%, IE 45%.
- 2 years from now, you expect that the desktop PC will constitute only 41% of Java client deployments, with 26% on thin clients or network computers and 16% on portable wireless devices.
- 2 years from now, you expect that Linux as a deployment platform for Java clients will increase substantially, outnumbering the Macintosh by a factor of 3.
- 2 years from now, you expect that Linux as a deployment platform for Java on the server will *dramatically* increase.
The results from these two surveys raised some interesting questions, and we look forward to working with you further to understand some of these issues in more detail.
