[Mono-dev] some issues need to be clarified

[Marek Safar]

Hello Ray,
> I have a customer who want to migrate from MS Windows to Linux, but some of their critical products are based on .net,
> and there are some problems they are concerned:
>
> 1) Does "Garbage Collection" in Mono conform to that in .NET CLR? How to monitor "Garbage Collection" on SUSE Linux?
>   
You can use .NET performance counters.
> 2) Are there corresponding libraries and resources with MS? If not,  how to handle that?
>     a) MS Message Queue
>     b) MS Distributed Transaction Coordinator
>   
The are both Windows specific. You will have to look for something cross 
platform.

> 3) Does Mono support Remoting?
>   
Yes
> 4) About xsp:
>     a) Does it support JIT?
>   
Not sure what you mean by that.
>     b) Does it support custom HttpHandler and HttpModule?
>   
Yes
>     c) Does it support all server controls?
>   
Yes, all .NET 2.0 controls except webparts.
> 5)   Are they in mono well supported?
>     a)   Generic Type (including the inheritance from generic base class)
>   
Yes
>     b)   anonymous delegate
>   
Yes
> 6)   Is there a well documented material abouts mono optimization,  e.g. every parameter's explanation; which parameters should be changed when tons of data come in
>   
man mono is good start
> 7)   Does Mono support ISAPI?
>   
It's not Mono related. But Apache has mod_isapi module.
> 8)   How Mono support large scale centralize deployment. (Microsoft provides wmi and adsi)
>   
WMI is not supported.
> 9)   on the same hardware platform and same functionality, what about the comparison on concurrency and stress between mono application server and MS server?
>   
Give us some app and we will tell you ;-)
