Ah yes, Broadvision. The same product that another company was trying to
integrate into a system I was working on. It took them over six months to
write a decent e-comm app, then when it came time for them to integrate it,
they couldn't have it do real-time external communications (XML transfer via
HTTP), because of a single-threading issue, and that would halt ALL requests
until the transfer completed.
The only thing big about Broadvision is its platform requirements and its
price-tag.
I'll stick with PHP and ColdFusion for most web apps. If I need a "superior"
platform, I'll stick with servlets.

Subject: RE: Lasso vs Cold Fusion white paper - Your thoughts??
Maybe you should do a little market research. Cold Fusion is about the
furthest thing from being a superior platform to develop highly scalable and
efficient web applications. CF doesn't begin to compare with products like
BroadVision, Weblogic, Dynamo, Vignette, WebObjects, etc... There're also
alot of less expensive (even free) applications that can give CF a run for
its money performance-wise.
It _IS_ however a highly efficient platform for developing web applications.
And I mean developing applications fast. It also beats the pants off of alot
of similar offerings, like Lasso, and if you treat it well, it might even
scale up to a few hundred thousand users.
Just a little reminder that if the only app servers you know about involve
ASP and Cold Fusion, you probably shouldn't be making sweeping claims that
nobody in their right mind could support. ;)

(I should note that Cold Fusion is getting better every day... I look
forward to the final integration of their latest acquisitions into CF 5,
which may just bring Cold Fusion into competition with the real heavy
hitters.)
