Instead, they write web applications wrapped around Quartz because "it's just easier to deploy" or some other such nonsense. IMHO, you either have control of your production environment yourself (and can do whatever you want) or you have an ops team with complete control of your production environment (and they ought to be able to handle scary stuff like scheduling cron jobs and running shell scripts) or you have no control whatsoever and therefore do not have a production environment. There, I said it. :p On the other hand, seeing object-oriented perl really makes me queasy. - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkmZ2FIACgkQ9CaO5/Lv0PDOQgCeJno3T9D2GnoWpTFswcvInUCn zpcAnijMpytndgIfPe6knYmum47WOj56 =QFoD -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
