extend scope for resident data tables to Java VM

Dear Sir or Madam,
We from PKS company, partner of IBM, are developing RBD extensions for migration of RPG/Cobol programs to EGL. Thereby we are missing the possibility to make data tables in Java resident across multiple users at one server like it is allready possible for a CICS region.

Actually in Java a resident DataTable remains loaded until the run unit ends whereas in CICS a resident DataTable remains loaded until the CICS region comes down or the administrator refreshes the table. But a rununit is not like a CICS region. What we need, is a shareable area of data across all sessions of the Java Virtual Machine.

So what we would suggest, is to make Java tables with resident property set to yes resident across the whole Virtual Java Machine, i.e. for all accesses of any program and any user and not only accesses of the run unit programs. You may adopt the property for Java to set either of program, run unit or server.
kind regards
Andreas Gronert

    IBM Business Developer is a continuous delivery offering, and aims to satisfy the needs of a rapidly evolving market segment. Product strategy evolves and requirements are continuously evaluated against that strategy. This RFE has recently been reappraised against the wider product strategy and does not fall into IBMs delivery plans for the next 12 month. Whilst this RFE might be valid and we might look to deliver longer term, this RFE is being rejected at this time.

    This RFE is more than a decade old. It might not be relevant now. Please create a new RFE if this requirement still exists.This RFE is more than a decade old. It might not be relevant now. Please create a new RFE if this requirement still exists.

    We agree that this would be be useful in many types of web applications, and we will consider it in our planning for future releases. Our implemenation would likely involve EGL libraries rather than data tables, as libraries are the more modern language construct, and are therefore more widely used.
