Frameworks stack for Real time

[rgarciaesteban]

Hi all,

We have to do a set of real-time applications, and we are wondered if the stack Spring/Hibercante could be a good solution. All comments are welcomed.

Thaks in advance

Define realtime.

Does it have to be hard real time (Java is not the best platform for that at the moment) or do you mean soft realtime. If you want hard realtime systems you would have to look at dedicated hardware, dedicated realtime operating systems etc.

What for response times are we talking about? microseconds? milliseconds? seconds? minutes?

And Spring can glue all kinds of applications. If you can build a realtime system in Java, you can glue it together in Spring.

I don't know if Hibernate would be the best solution for very predictable behavior. Personally I would start doing JDBC calls by hand (Spring also has support for this to make it less painful) or use something like IBatis if I really want to have control. But this also depends on the responsetimes your system allows.
