Folks,
I am working with a small company that is going to be doing some good work
in the performance management area for Citrix servers. Their existing agent
which runs as a service on each Citrix server is written in Java. This of
course requires the presence of a JRE to support their service.
I know that everyone hates having to publish Java based applications on
their Citrix boxes due to the fact that Java application consume so much
memory. My question is, "Do you care about a service written in Java (where
there is only ever one instance), or does your fear and loathing of Java
applications extend to potential Java management tools as well?
Please let me know with a simple response like:
1. If it delivers value, I do not care what it is written in.
2. The fact that it is in Java is a concern, and it will depend upon the
value vs. the resources consumed.
3. Over my dead body will a Java thing go on my Citrix boxes.
If you want to elaborate on your rationale that would be most appreciated as
well.
Thanks,
