[Answered] Question About Java Request

[john075]

I posted a request to activate java for my account 3 days before but no one is responding to that post. So can anyone tell me how long will i have to wait for java to be activated for my account or will it be activated or not???????

Well, if you actually look at the java requests forum you can see that java gets added in the order that people requested it. It's like standing in a line; the person who is next in line gets it next, and then the second person in line moves up to being the first person in line and so on and so forth.

 

Java does not scale well on shared hosting because each account that has java enabled uses a fairly standard amount of memory whether they are currently using a java application or not, but memory is a finite resource. If the server had an infinite amount of memory we could add java to all accounts at the same time and everything would be fine. However that is not how reality works, and if we install java on too many accounts at once there is no memory left free on the server to do anything else and that results in even poorer performance than Johnny already has.

 

If you want to use java just be patient and watch your thread. Also make sure your account stays active, which means you need to log in at least once every 30 days because java is automatically removed from inactive accounts to allow room for someone else, and obviously we're not going to install java on an inactive account.
