Any comments about jonas architecture, performance, scalability? May be soebody compared Jonas with another EJB servers? The forvarded message is from Orion App server mailing list. -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Re: Orion for ISPs Date: Tue, 14 Dec 1999 13:38:00 +0100 From: Karl Avedal <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Orion-Interest <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hello Steve, Currently, the "heaviest" production site using Orion is probably http://www.vpro.nl It's the main site for a large dutch public broadcasting company and Orion currently handles about 400,000-500,000 hits per day on this site. It's also running their sites www.3voor12.nl, www.pinkpop.nl, www.desktopradio.nl, www.lifesavers.nl and a few more. And they keep on moving more sites, like www.cinema.org to Orion as well. About the other servers you mention, EJBoss and Jonas. They're both EJB servers and don't handle the full J2EE platform. This means no Java Server Pages, no Servlets, etc. (of course these things can be provided by other products, but you don't get the same integration and quality/performance as with Orion). Also, the versions of Jonas we have tried have not yet been good enough to really work, especially due to scalability issues in their design. I don't know if they've done anything about this yet. EJBoss however looks interesting, but I'm kind of partial there since a friend of mine, Rickard �berg, has been helping out with it. I think the best thing you can do is to try to deploy the same application on the different servers and see what results you get.
