I love these silly vs. debates. They come and go and we still stick around
developing cool software...
There are quite a few holes in their methodology (which naeem just pointed
out...ie: 1.0 vs. 1.1.2...duh).
Anyway, here is the questions you should ask yourself:
Is my application running slowly? If my application is running slowly,
should I spend $35k to increase the speed of the app server or should I
spend $35k in engineering time to find the hotspots in the application I
built myself?
Is it broken? If so, is it worth spending $35k to _maybe_ fix things?
Do I want to give up the benefits of having Jon "Asshole" Stevens (and the
rest of the ppl on this list) fix your bugs overnight vs. spending $35k to
_maybe_ get a fix when they get around to it?
Also, JServ isn't your only alternative out there. Tomcat 3.2 is on the
horizon. If I were you, I would really start looking at that servlet engine.
It is quite good now. Wait a second, I'm not even using JServ any longer for
development...what am I talking about. :-)
Is it just me, or are these questions and answers not obvious to people?
To me, the solution is quite obvious: Stick with JServ, migrate to Tomcat.
Stop worrying about wasting money. Send me (or hell, the ASF or your
favorite charity!) a check for $35k instead and I can give you a 100%
promise that the current level of support that you get from JServ and Tomcat
developers _today_ will continue to be higher than what you will get from
iPlanet. Oh yea, and you will even have the source code for the software.
Oh wait...I will give you that promise without spending any money! I'm doing
it already. :-)
good luck.
