[archive] CVM information in ver. 7

[Migrated content. Thread originally posted on 18 August 2005]

Can anyone at Accucorp, or other, provide more information about the Cobol Virtual machine (CVM) for ver7?

In the documentation, it only talks about what it is and provides a brief description of the methods that a Java program can call.

I would like to know more technical information.

1.) Is it mutli-threaded and can it support multiple, concurrent requests?

2.) Does it support SSL?

3.) Is it's use recommended for a web-based ecommerce application?

4) Do we need to call the CVM.initialize() and CVM.shutdown() method each and every request?

Any additional information on this would be helpful. Thanks.

It would be nice to see that AcuCorp is replying to ALL of these posts. Somehow I get the feeling that .NET developers are being left out in the cold here.

Allow me to stress something;

The forum is not, and never was intended to be, an official communication channel to Acucorp technical departments. The primary object of the forum is to be a place where ACUCOBOL-GT users can share knowledge with each other.

Acucorp employees may, at their own initiative voluntarily contribute to the forum. But we are in no way obliged to do so.

So, for your .net statement; .net developers are by no means left out in the cold. But, when posting replies here, I for one, does so when I have the answer straight, be it in that I know it instantly or if I have an example around that is useful. I do normally not spend time to understand, research less say build up an example to address an issue.

Like in your case, I do not have an adequate example around.

Your primary source for help is Acucorp Technical Support, and you should call or send email to them for that purpose.

By doing so, I am confident you will get the help you need.

I am sorry if you were not aware of this, but whoever gave you access to the forum should have informed you about this.

1.) Is it mutli-threaded and can it support multiple, concurrent requests?
Threading is a large issue, in the context of using CVM it is not multi-threaded or thread-safe.

2.) Does it support SSL? I'm not sure what you are asking. SSL is a transport mechanism for sending and receiving information over TCP/IP. ALL Acucorp client server technologies work with TCP/IP.

3.) Is it's use recommended for a web-based ecommerce application?

4) Do we need to call the CVM.initialize() and CVM.shutdown() method each and every request? No, in general you use CVM.initialize() to bring CVM or the runtime into memory, you then call the COBOL application functions (or COBOL programs) and when your client application is ending you call CVM.shutdown().
