Often there are questions related to JRun and/or ServletExec on this list. Without trying to say whether these posts are appropriate for this list or not, I wanted to point out that those products do have their own mailing lists, since some people seem to be unaware of it (and of course, some do, as these lists have been mentioned here previously). You might think that these lists would not be so useful, but they are, as a lot of users participate in them (the JRun list does have more traffic than the ServletExec list), exchanging information openly and honestly. They are a good way of finding out about those products, both good and bad. For example, someone here just asked about comparative information about JRun and WebSphere. Well, they might find it relevant that a lot of people on the JRun list lately are complaining about runaway CPU usage by JRun, and a lack of response from JRun's support people to their complaints. To find out more about these mailing lists: For ServletExec, go to New Atlanta's web page at: http://www.newatlanta.com For JRun, it's a little more complex, as they were recently taken over by (or merged with) Allaire, and their web pages and mailing lists are somewhat in a state of flux. But you might try one of more of the following: http://www.livesoftware.com http://www.jrun.com http://www.allaire.com http://www.houseoffusion.com In particular, Live Software used to have several JRun/JSP related lists, but they are apparently doing away with them in favor of just one new list, jrun-talk, available through the houseoffusion site. Also, apparently, their support people are monitoring the mailing list less, instead using a web-based forum at: http://forums.allaire.com/jrun FWIW, I've found that New Atlanta's support people have been much more responsive to questions on the ServletExec list than Live Software's on the JRun lists; I don't know about the new JRun forum at Allaire, as I haven't checked it out. (Note: I don't know if I seem like I'm pushing one of these products over the other; that's not my intention, I'm just trying to relay my observations/experience objectively.) I wouldn't be surprised if other servlet engine products (e.g. WebSphere) have their own mailing lists or other fora, but I don't know have any information on them.
