Hi Shiril, I like Winston's thoughts about doing your own comparison and better understanding what you would like to compare. ECperf was meant to be run by anyone on any late-model J2EE server, so theoretically you could run it yourself and at least you would have some measurement data to look at and in the process learn more about how the server(s) work. You can download the complete kit from the JCP site. ECperf results are also just for that particular hardware software configuration so for example you could use it to evaluate whether you have more than enough hardware or not. In either case waiting for the vendor results may not be worth it as they will likely not run ECperf on a similar hardware os configuration to yours (or each other's :).
<Vendor> If you have your own EJB(s) already you could use a tool like Bean-test to compare them. You can deploy the same EJB(s) on each server, and then make performance measurements up to and through the load (number concurrent clients) you are expecting for your application. This is also a great way to measure the performance in a controlled repeatable environment. Like with ECperf, you will then at least have some numeric result data for comparison and analysis. </Vendor> Similar to what Winston eluded too, you should consider what kind of concurrent load numbers you are expecting for your enterprise application and evaluate whether JBoss will get you there. Good luck with it.

For JBoss to participate in it, first it has to be J2EE certified. Then, it will have to shell out the huge amount of $$$ to have its ecperf results published. So, its better to do your own custom comparison based on your project needs, instead of waiting for all this to happen. While you are doing your own comparison, keep in mind JBoss 3.0 is due out in a month. As u might be aware, it has clustering capabilities. Using v3.0 in your performance eval would make more sense when comparing to an already cluster aware WL implementation. Otherwise it wont be fair to both products. App support has always been the issue for any Open source product. But, I believe there are strong initiatives from the JBoss group to alleviate it. U might find more about it, if you contact them directly. I've heard from developers that their JMS implementation JBossMQ is quite not stable. So, u might want to be a little careful with that. Even then, JBoss is built on a very modular architecture(JMX). So, u should be able to remove JBossMQ easily and add a different implementation, as u wish.
