[OT] Java hosting & USB stick deployment
I am in the midst of deciding on the technology to use for an
application that must be (i) cheap to host and (ii) must be deployable
on USB sticks (Windows/Mac), for use in ad hoc networks. Options
include Wicket/Hibernate/Spring or a PHP framework like Drupal, in
some web container like e.g. Resin, XAMPP/MAMP, etc.
Does anybody on the list know of very cheap Java hosting
possibilities? I image most of us on the list are working in the
enterprise sector but maybe somebody knows of a good deal?
(There was once a rumor that Google would offer something, http://www.oreillynet.com/onjava/blog/2008/05/podraziks_prediction_java_next.html
, any guesses on this?)
I am also interested in whether people from the list have made
experiences with running Wicket on USB sticks?
Thanks,
Kaspar

I meant 'if you have low data storage requirements'. The bump from 10GB to
20GB starts to erode the price competitiveness pretty quickly.

I did a test deploy on slicehost an it was great outside of disk space
issues. Ultimately it was cheaper for me to pay ~$70 a month to cari.net for
a dedicated server.
Slicehost is great though, highly recommended if you have data storage
requirements.

I use eapps.com for hosting. Not sure what the problem is with USB drives,
since you can get a 2GB drive for $6.

As far as the OS is concerned, the USB stick is just another volume, so
you can run it from jetty or any other container stored on the USB
stick. The trick is, of course, size, and the fact that the stick can
be removed. Another thing to consider is that a java runtime will be
required.
I don't know exactly what you are trying to accomplish. I know that
vendors early on used automount batch scripts on CD's in order to have
java applications begin running when a CD is first inserted. It's been
a long time since I've worked in the windows world, but I'd think that
this was still possible. You'd need the java runtime on your USB stick.
My recommendation would then to start your application running in
jetty much like you'd start any java application (see the quickstart
project).
I have no predictions on how long it would continue to run if someone
should remove the USB stick while the above application is running aside
from the fact that it would probably crash with class not found exceptions.

slicehost.com. easy.
and at Mystic we've had several web applications written in Wicket
deployed on external media, with a running system behind it of course :)
