java vs C++ on tcp/ip message processing performance
Is there any wall street firm using Java for large volume message processing system (using tcp/ip socket). Anybody can compare C++ and Java on this kind of high volume / performance-oriented message processing system? Are they mostly developed in C++? Thanks.
there are many Java-based frameworks for server-side development, e.g. HTTP servers, SOAP, J2EE servers, they all are based on network communication after all.
I doubt anyone here will tell you specifically, often that is proprietary info.
I can tell you many Fortune 500 firms use Java for high performance networking components.
IBM uses it for the realtime scoring systems at major sporting events.
It is not quite the performance as C++, but there are other advantages in maintennance and debugging. We recently rewrote a C++ network application in Java, not for performance, but for the improvement in stability due to short deadline and not enough time to work out the C++ pointer bugs.

what about I need is performance and speed of processing messages? Is C++ not doubt a selection in production trading environment? How this core C++ engine interact with other java components in wall street companies? Thanks a lot.
