As a Principal Architect, for me time to market, sky rocking performance and ease of development were good enough to investigate and invest 2 of my developers and myself for 3 days. After our research and due dilligence (lack of doc so we learned the hard way !) All the feature we needed are there and they work fine. We were left with Weblogic and Orion on our short list as the only ejb2.0 compliant appserver in the industry. Orion hasn't got the impressive references BEA comes up with in production yet Orion doesn't come up with the assle one has to deal with when facing the sales force of BEA and they famous and unrealistic node locking licenses. Websphere, ATGDynamo, IPlanet and some others were long gone in phase 2 of our testing !!! The results of the above gave us the ultimate winner across all division of my present company - ORION :-)) my CFO was the most shiny and happy looking !!! CTO and VP of R&D gave us the bottoms up to roll development on this server. To our surprise all of this left BEA and VITRIA with they sucky BusinessWare product just arguing over our competences and technical abilities... They never went into logical and technical explanation of the result of our internal benchmark and never challenged any of our findings...
