> Hi,
>
> First of all, I was taken aback when reading some of the responses I
> received to my previous email. I hope some of you were just joking and I
> didn't realize it. My email was not in any way intended to be negative, I
> was not attempting to spread FUD, and I never asserted that "J2EE
> is dead."
>
> In fact, my company has written a web-based application that
> utilizes parts
> of J2EE, namely servlets, JSP, JDBC, and JNDI. I have been researching the
> other parts of J2EE - EJB, JMS, and XML - for use in our product. Upon
> realizing the benefits, I advised my bosses that we should devote
> resources
> to look further in this direction. However, they were somewhat hesitant to
> do so. Why? Because other companies have been relating THEIR bad
> experiences
> with EJB to them personally. What went wrong? I don't know - I'm still
> trying to get a hold of the engineers on these failed projects to see what
> happened. Therefore, because my bosses have only heard negative
> things about
> EJB, I have to come up with positive data to show them - hard facts, case
> studies of improved performance and scalability, and things like these. I
> was reaching out to the rest of you to hear, not only your successes, but
> also the areas which should be approached carefully.
>
> As regards WebLogic�s server, I have in fact prototyped parts of
> our product
> in it. The whole process was pretty straightforward, so I don't know what
> the complaints were. Again, all I know is that the bad experiences all had
> WebLogic in common, but again, I don't know specifics.
>
> Our product is sold to internal IT departments within medium to large
> companies. Cost is definitely an issue for us - we can't sell our
> product to
> a company if it only works inside a $10,000/CPU application server. So the
> idea of a free/low cost J2EE server is a very big issue for us, which is
> only one of the reasons that we�re looking at jBoss.

> Thanks,
