what an unfair comparison.

we have implemented a b2b ecommerce prototype using JONAS 1.5 (current
version is 1.6) and made the following observations:
JoNAS is stable enough for prototyping and worked fine most of the time BUT
there are several things that made us look for another server for
production work:
- performance for entity beans is orders of magnitude worse that that of
good commercial servers
- there's no real resource management (activation and passivation not
implemented, you instantiate lots of objects, you'll get a memory problem)
- the deployment procedure is tedious compared to other products (e.g. orion)
- problems with fault tolerance in the connection pooling (we experienced
lots of "morning bugs" but I heard the pooling has been improved in version
1.6 so that might have gone away)
so my advice would be the following:
if money for the licenses doesn't matter, get weblogic or another
commercial server (check ejb-interest list archives for opinions) because
it's likely to make your work more productive and your deployed software
more stable and scalable. if money does matter and you don't expect great
scalability and think you can live with the performance of JoNAS, it's a
good deal. I personally wouldn't deploy a mission-critical app on JoNAS yet.

compare weblogic with gemstone, powertier or websphere and compare JoNAS
with EJBoss but (at the moment and as far as I'm concerned for quite some
time to come) they play in different leagues.
