Thanks for the info. Unless anybody has better suggestions, I'll add two
categories as shown below:
Web Application Framework
- Cocoon
- J2EE
- RIFE
Web Application Server
- Geronimo
- JBoss
- JOnAS
- Red Hat App Server
- Tomcat
-jean

Hi Jean,
thanks for adding us to that page. "Web Application Framework" is the
best category, since that's RIFE's main aim. I think the major
difference is that some frameworks are end-to-end and others focus on
the web part. RIFE is end-to-end, so you can also use each
sub-framework independently, which blurs the positioning. If you have
an Object-Relational or Database Abstraction category it would fit in
well there too, but if only one has to be chosen, "Web Application
Framework" fits best.

Thanks for the post! I'll add a link to it on
http://incubator.apache.org/derby/papers/misc.html .
In the "Products by Type" section on that page I'll also add a "Web
Application Framework" section -- and now I get to reveal how little
I understand about all these products. I think the products that
would belong in a "Web Application Framework" section include Cocoon,
Geronimo, JBoss, JOnAS, Red Hat App Server, and Rife. But I'm really
fuzzy on any distinctions people might make between web application
frameworks and web application servers.
If somebody were looking for a product that does "X" on Derby, what
category would be helpful? And which products would belong to that
category?
