I hesitate to send this message for fear it might be flame bait.
I'm an EJB newbie and have been given the responsibility of evaluating app
servers that have a servlet & EJB implementation. The products making the
short list are BEA Weblogic Server and IBM WebSphere Advanced. I have
'evaluated' the app servers, but I am not comfortable making a
recommendation based on my limited use of these products.
I am hoping to benefit from the greater experience of the members on the
list.
I am interested in hearing people's experience with the products, good or
bad, particularly in relation to entity beans, container managed
persistence, supported containers and related Java technology (JMS, JNDI,
dist. two phase commit?)
My understanding is that IBM provides a container for UDB and BEA provides a
container for JDBC (correct so far?)
They both provide containers for OR mappers (TopLink? others?)
Should I be aware of issues w/r/t how perform basic CMP mapping is
performed? Should I care (should I assume the need for an OR mapper?)
Are there other issues I should be aware of?
As an aside:
Is it possible to perform distributed 2 phase commit which involves Oracle
and DB2 on OS/390?
Thanks and I hope this doesn't necessitate a flame. Please direct me in
another direction if there is a more appropriate place to find similar
information.
Thanks again,
Scott Deboy
