ignore the noise, focus on the work marcf
PS: I agree with your analysis, the "J2EE certified" brand is weaker for every download we have and we are not certified. Having the most downloaded server not certified takes a lot of credibility out of the brand. I was reading the forum this was posted on and found interesting to hear that people say JBoss has become a "defacto-standard" of sorts. I believe that statement to be true at least for the development. Look at the download numbers we have >50k month weblogic has 3k for their free version. For the production I am waiting for a report that takes into account "free" and "for pay" and counts "CPUs" installed, I wouldn't be surprised the "Apache" story would repeat itself. But for now focus on the download numbers. The rest is noise. Noise, bla bla bla. |-----Original Message----- |From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] |[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Dain |Sundstrom |Sent: Thursday, January 31, 2002 7:01 PM |To: Jboss-Development@Lists.
