As a complete surprise, it can do something pretty much straight out of the box. Although, in true Vignette style, not very good and not very usefull. However, there is NO Tcl support in their next version anymore. So now they charge a pinky ammount for what is just a simple J2EE application, which only runs on J2EE servers that you have to pay another load on money for!
Here are some ideas to attract more CEOs, VPs of marketing and people with an MBA in general to use AOLserver: - Give them quotes on aolserver.com on how it increased their ROI by reducing their TTM. - Have an annual mass, tax deductible, brain-dead three day sales presentation disguised as a politicaly correct technical and strategy workshop and call it "AOLserver Attic" - Say we support Java simply because we have figured out Tcl blend and then load a different JVM for every thread. (though Vignette can not do multithreaded Tcl, so they run a seperate daemon instead...) - Support ASP by simply running IIS in the background and requesting any .asp pages from it - And most important off all: don't give any clues as to what is actualy on offer untill we have actualy made the sale. Not willing to write off the investment, they will keep paying their ever increasing license fees. Bas "I made a lot of money creating sites in Vignette for companies that didn't know any better" Scheffers. ;-) I.
