Congradulations, guys, on a job well done. This means
that Orion is hitting the big time, and with some of
the big Oracle royality checks, they can hire a tech
writer to produce some first class documentation, and
extend the user base of Orion. I really like to see
the small guys producing great products, like Orion,
Resin, and Jboss, get the recognition and glory they
deserve.
Imagine BEA and Websphere as the big bad dragons,
dominating the J2EE lanscape, and the small knights,
like Orion, Resin, and Jboss, fighting the battle.
But the announcement also doesn't supprise me. Look
at the Apache foundation. A couple of years ago, IBM
approached them with a funding proposal to produce a
Windows version that they could use in their Websphere
products. With Apahche 2.0, Apache goes from a
process model to a process, thread model, and should
be declared stable for Windows. Companies like IBM
and Oracle now embed Apache in their products, and
Apache gains from a greater cash influx.
