[TYPO3-dev] TYPO3 running on quercus?

[georg kuehnberger]

Ahoi,
Anybody already tried running TYPO on quercus?
The concept looks interesting/promising, especially in regards to 
scalability (eg. using hibernate and clustering), and eventually also in 
regards to JSR-170-stuff.
details see below,
regards georg

Benefits of Quercus

Quercus and Quercus' PHP libraries are written entirely in Java, thereby 
taking the advantages of Java applications and infusing them into PHP. 
PHP applications running on Quercus are simply faster, easier to 
develop, more capable, more secure, and more scalable than any other PHP 
solution.
Performance - simply faster

     * Quercus outperforms straight mod_php by about 4x for MediaWiki 
and Drupal.
     * PHP developers can use Java tools like profilers to get in-depth 
information about the PHP program performance.

Development - fast, safe, and easy

     * PHP extensions written in Java are fast, safe, and relatively 
easy to develop compared to those written in C. Since Java is the 
library language, developers won't need to be paranoid about third-party 
libraries having C-memory problems or segvs and are freed to concentrate 
on solving the objectives at hand.

Capability - powerful Java technologies at the developer's fingertips

     * Quercus has the best of both worlds: PHP and Java. PHP 
applications can take advantage of Java technologies like JMS, EJB, SOA 
frameworks, Hibernate, and Spring.

Security - no more pesky C memory bugs

     * All Quercus extensions libraries are coded in Java. Therefore, 
developers do not have to worry about C pointer overruns and 
segmentation faults from PHP extensions anymore.

Scalability - PHP for the masses, literally

     * Thanks to Resin, PHP applications can beautifully scale to as 
many servers as desired.
     * PHP applications can now enjoy connection pooling, distributed 
sessions, fail-safe load balancing, and proxy caching. These benefits 
require no change in the PHP code.

Quercus gives both Java and PHP developers a fast, safe, and powerful 
alternative to the standard PHP intepreter. Developers ambitious enough 
to use PHP in combination with Java will benefit the most from what 
Quercus has to offer.
