Greetings all, and a happy new millennium to everyone!!!
OK, now we're back from holiday, it's time to get back to some serious business. A thought occurred to me while I was away, and this is an idea that would really take JADE into new territory.
If I wanted to set up an e-commerce site (say, something like e-bay) using JADE and wanted to update the system from time to time, I'd have to take the system down for maintenance periodically. When you've got a large world-wide user population, you cannot afford to have down time AT ALL. So, what would it take to design JADE so that updates could be applied in real time while a system was live?
I imagine it could be done, something along the lines of the new online backup... but I'll await responses from plant-type people (triffids excluded).
Craig.
