I am not bashing J2EE, it's a sound technology but, for the web overkill most of the time, IMHO.
I work for a company with a J2EE product, we love Orion, probably the best around. To make it more marketable, we want it to also work on other J2EE server. Unfortunately, a lot was left open in the specifications and while 99.999% of the code is valid, deployment descriptors are not. In Vignette's documentation, they only ever mentioned support for IBM and BEA and that is where the "load of money" comment comes from. It's rather silly that, considering that probably 90% of Vignette customers run Oracle, they do not support the Oracle 9i J2EE server, for which you do not need to pay anything extra. This server actualy is.... Orion! The only thing different from the default Orion seems to be the example config for an Oracle database pool. You even start it with "java -jar orion.jar"! Bas. I.
