Removing JAva Support

As of July 8th 2008 Area 51 IT Solutions will no longer be supporting Java technologies. Sun Microsystems has failed to keep integrating Java technologies up to date on Windows Servers and make the integration process on the fly.

Its pretty bad when a server admin has to uninstall the latest version of a techonology (JRE 1.6) and load a version 4 years older with all kinds of security holes and problems to make it work.

Jrun is no longer compatible with latest version of JRE 1.6 and cannot be installed to run it on the fly.

Sun Micrsystems never realeased a offical filter for there latest version of JVM.dll to handle servlets or jsp, applets or any technology to handle pre hyper text request on open tag pages. They never came out with a appropiate ISAPI Filter for IIS.

Java appears to be dying and we refuse to integrate any technology that refuses to exceed customers expectations or security needs.

When a techology asks you to change your complete setup, software, and find outside vendors like Jrun, Tomcat, and resin to help make there own software work, its time to drop that technology.

It fails to perform standing alone.

Area 51 IT Solutions Does not take Interest in Sun Microsystems and its lawsuits involving Microsoft.. We only care about the quality of the coding our customers recieve and Sun Microsystems fails to meet our standards.

And the point in this thread is....? I personally have never heard of Area 51 IT solutions I don't know about others on here? But if your website is anything to go by I'm sure your stated decision will not affect much. Keep the threads to problems instead of pissy little comments like you have just made.
