There are many reasons to move to Orion from Weblogic: - Free developer license: You can have several developers in a project have their own installation of the server to do testing before committing their changes. - The price difference: With Orion you get a lot more functionality for the dollar. - The user community My experience is that answers on Orion-Interest are very often more to the point than the answers you would read on the different Weblogic newsgroups. This might have changed since I last was using weblogic about a year ago.
There are probably good reasons going the other way as well depending on the specific requirements. Please list your reasons as this could enlighten the discussion. Your comment makes it look like this was an obvious decision and that would really surprise me. What other servers did you evaluate? I was part of a move from Weblogic 5.1 to Orion about 9 months ago. I think that we actually got in just after 1.3.8. That decision was based mainly on financial reasons since I was working at a startup having trouble to raise the amount of money needed to deploy clustered solutions using the more expensive alternatives. At that time our biggest problem were bugs in JMS and MDBs but those problems have gone away now as far as I know. Anyway I would really recommend anyone using older versions to move to 1.5.2 muthukumarasamy rajamanickam wrote: > Why are you going to Orion from > Weblogic????????????????? > > We are movin gto Weblogic from Orion > > heeeeeeeeemmmmmmmmmmm Diffferent world????? > --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > >>Do you have a server certificate for or Orion >>server? >> >>Jonathan Bricker >>Lilly Research Labs >>Java ATG >> >> >> >> >>Greg Flores <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >>Sent by: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >>10/11/01 09:18 AM >>Please respond to Orion-Interest >> >> >> To: Orion-Interest >><[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >> cc: >> Subject: WebLogic To Orion >> >> >> >>We have migrated a current production application >>from Weblogic to Orion >>in an test to come up with an alternative platform >>and have come across >>some issues.
