Ahh! The important question! WebLogic isn't bad. They have fewer bugs!
It's pretty costly to say the least, however. In my experince their support
is horrible -- something they are supposed to be known for. It's no worse
than Allaire's and if you buy a clean product, in theory, you shouldn't have
to call support anyway!
