Well it looks like you folks are right...

But you might have an alternative : Native Java Code...

We are in the process of developing an Online application, which is
expected to handle upto 4 transactions per second.  For this, we 
require
a middle tier socket application, which should accept messages from a
Financial Switch (ISO 8583 format) and update the databases.  The
application will work in a NT box, mostly a single-processor based
Pentium III Server.

We would like to develop the application in Java.  However, some of the
team members have a doubt on the speed.  Since Java based application
has to run in the JVM, they feel, performance will be an issue.  So 
they
suggest writing the application in C++ so that it can be compiled to an
executable.

Can somebody through light on Performance issues?  Has anybody
implemented such a solution in Java?   Can I get some references on
this?


Thank you in advance.
