Is OpenDeploy mostly Java, or mostly C++ (was: zLinux platform support of OD)

Frederik

A thread I started about LiveSite on zLinux has side-tracked into OpenDeploy territory...

- OpenDeploy (apparently 7.1 not available for zSeries, but OD Rcvr 6.2.1 was?). OD is basically a JVM, but seems to include some native code (not sure if one could hope to run without the native code and still get the majority of features in OD). OD is a mandatory element for LSDS...

FYI - OD's core code is, I believe, still C++ - on top of which is layer (or two, or three) of Java -- not sure if it makes a difference in your opinion, but ...

Can anybody comment on that? is OD really a C++ core with a Java wrapper? Or is it a Java core with a few C++ native libraries.

I have access to OD 7.1 and 6.0.2 on Solaris, and I do find some seriously large *.so files in $ODHOME/lib (e.g. libiwdeploy.so of 20MB)

many thanks

When I did development work on OD 5.5.1 (back in the day) - it was a C++ core with Java layering.

I don't know if any of that changed since then, but given the libraries you're seeing - my guess is "no".
