Calling C or C++ methods from Java

[prabal nandi]

if i make a java application running on a server, which is calling C or C++ methods having all the busniess logic, will that make my application faster compared to a normal java application.

Sorry i guess this post got posted twice.. "JavaRanch » Java Forums » Java » Performance ". this will be the correct path.
but can somebody seriously help me out and can also provide a proper explaination.

Creating and calling the interface to JNI methods certainly will consume some CPU time so your C or C++ would have to be faster to justify that.

If multiple clients can access the application, you would have to manage the separate requests. If database access is involved in the business logic that CPU time would probably be much more important than execution of logic code so the language won't matter.

That might make your code faster. But it would have to make it a whole lot faster before it was worth doing, if you're talking about a server application.

There are lots of good reasons to call c++ from java and business logic isn't one of them generally.

JNI has an over head and unoptimised C++ can run slower than Java, Javas is not that slow any more check out some benchmarks on the web before proceeding.
