Arul,
Despite the two server choices that you have made, I believe that an
*easily* deployable EJB test suite is needed. I would be happy to work with
you to establish some test scenarios. I don't believe that an overall
benchmark (like TPC-W) has much merit for reasons that William Louth and
others have stated in this thread. Applications vary too much for such a
benchmark to be useful.
I do believe that individual benchmarks on marshalling issues, concurrency
demands, simple transactions, spec compliance, security, etc. are much more
telling. Perhaps these individual ratings can be combined with some
documented weight to form some kind of EJB-SPEC rating.
Regardless, if these tests can be easily distibuted with a proper JUnit test
harness, we can leave the running of the benchmarks up to the individual
developers. It would also be interesting if the results of running these
benchmark tests can be auto-broadcasted back to a web server and a running
tally of scores (and particular hardware constraints) can be updated live on
the web site. I think this may even be the loophole in the app server's
restrictions regarding posting benchmark scores, since we aren't running any
benchmarks!
