Jim,

I hope that ECPerf will provide this. It would be nice to see all those
hates thrown into the ring.
Regarding "easy deployment" I think we have not reached that level across
the board. Some vendors are trying their hardest to make it as simple and
pleasant as it can be and well, others are trying their hardest to make it
as complicated and unpleasant as it can be. The second group's thinking is
that *we* all love the hard work, long hours and total frustration in trying
to get our silly little beans deployed in their container. When finally
deployed we bask in our glory on climbing our own mount everest and look
forward to the increase in our salary that comes with this, since we know
that somebody else out there has decided to create their very own replicate
of mount everest and needs rescuing. Don't let go of my hands.

I like it.
I can't imagine ever basing a purchase decision solely on the word of
someone posting to a Yahoo message board. Good luck to those who do.
But I like the fact that individual users can review (under moderation) app
servers. It's incredibly difficult to get comprehensive information about
such a product.
It would be nicer still if serverside.com, along with some of us developers,
put together an opensource app server benchmark that is *easily* run on any
EJB appserver. After all, isn't easy deployment the cornerstone of EJB. Even
if the benchmark initially focuses on EJB performance (as opposed to the
whole J2EE spec), it would be extremely useful.
Of course, serverside would have to have the balls to stand up to these
compaines regarding benchmark results being released to <gasp> the public.
If serverside allowed a forum where independent developers could post there
system setup, config parameters, and results, I don't see how any of these
app server companies could bitch.
