Thanks a lot to Phillip Rhodes and Hugh Allen for their invaluable insights. Please do comment on the following questions regarding JBoss 3.2.x
1. Easy implementation of Web Services 2. Quality of technical response/support 3. Efficient CMP communication with selected database (i.e. is the SQL optimized prior to submission or is there lots of interaction with the database ) 4. Dynamic loading of new files Thanks in advance Anu Hugh Allen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >I have been using JBoss for less than a year, so I am no expert.
