Scaling with Rich Clients
Summary: Rich clients can not only provide more interactive, desktop-like, user interaction, but also have the ability to cache significant amounts of application data on the client and perform processing on that data. In this interview with Artima, Xoetrope CTO Val Cassidy explains how client-side data processing can help scale an enterprise application.

      Is the link correct? All I get is an 'articles from null' empty page.

        Too Poor to Scale

        The link Leads to a page which sadly states
        "Article Null!"

        Perhaps this is the irony of scaling with rich clients!

          No, it was my fault. I added a redirect to Apache last night that was intended to just redirect exactly the /lejava/articles URL, but it ended up redirecting /lejava/articles*, and I didn't notice until I saw these messages. It's an example of something I've noticed over the years, which is that most of the problems on the live site have to do with configuration, not things that would have been caught by unit testing the code. Anyway, sorry about the problem. It is fixed now.
