Hi,
JWS users probably shouldn't worry. Last time I checked Netscape servlet
support was abismal, so they'll simply add the JWS servlet configuration
GUI, servlet support, and JSP support to Netscape. Same GUI, same
configuration, same support. It will be slightly better integrated than the
third party servlet engines are and that's it.
Easier said than done, but that's my guess,
Now what about NetDynamics vs Kiva/NAS? All customers will be encouraged to
move to EJBs, but many will be left out in the cold. NetD 4.x sucks, so if
they drop NAS I hope NetD 5.x is better. Does anyone know if JSP is on tap
for NetD or NAS?
just guessing.
