I have two issues with this type of embedded technology. First
it is always seems to be farther behind than the non-embedded
products. Currently it supports JSP .92 and Serlert 1.0 (2 versions
back). This could be signficant because of the new features being
brought out in newer versions.
Secondly, it is not mobile. You have to have the servlet runner
running on the DB server. I cannot move it around to another computer
for load balancing. In the limited experience I have found that most
business type web apps need more processing power on the application
server side than the DB. This implementation won't allow you to
easily front end a DB server with say 2 app servers with an embedded
technology. Or if you do, you have to buy the DB for each server. And
if you have seen Oracles recent price increase, you can probably only
afford a single DB server license.
Just my 2 cents.
