What vendors have shyed away from is providing us full source code and
system settings used to achieve their benchmark results.
Inprise is the only company that I know of that has released any sort of
performance benchmark code, along with their test results against WebLogic.
Hopefully, this will encourage others to participate.
>From the Inprise public newsgroup:
A white-paper is available at:
http://www.borland.com/devsupport/appserver/faq/IASvsWLS.doc
The source used in this example is at:
http://www.borland.com/devsupport/appserver/faq/perf_test.jar
Note: some people have had problems with corruption with the doc file. I'm
not sure why they are not using pdf or html...
