Would you consider enhydra ( www.enhydra.org ) as a viable choice to
weblogic? Or is it an open-source competitor to jakarta/tomcat, or are they
complementary? I see features described in enhydra that don't seem to be
available within the world of tomcat/ecs/coccoon ( most notably, ejb ), yet
I also sense an inherent dependency upon enhydra's own classes ;
vendor-specific?

Subject: JServ+Turbine vs. WebLogic et.al.
Hi,
I have been listening on the Turbine and JServ mailing lists for a while,
installing the packages, and evaluating them for a (hopefully) large-scale
web development project. For this project, we need a web application
server and web application development framework.
The combination of JServ and Turbine appears very powerful and capable.
The decision facing me is whether to go with an open source solution
with its attendant costs and benefits (of which JServ+Turbine is the
leading candidate), or to go with a commercial web application server
product (of which BEA WebLogic is the leading candidate).
QUESTIONS
* How does JServ+Turbine compare to commercial web application
server packages?
* How does it compare to BEA WebLogic in particular?
* Under what technical or project conditions would you recommend
one or the other?
* Would it ever make sense to use both? (or do they overlap too much)
* What are the features/capabilities which are lacking in
JServ+Turbine that are available BEA WebLogic? vice-versa?
If JServ+Turbine is sufficiently functional/scalable, I would prefer
to go with it as the open source solution, and thus contribute more
developers to the Turbine community. However, since the Turbine
developers also seem to know WebLogic, I would appreciate a candid
assessment so I can make the right decision.
Thanks,
Stephen Adkins

P.S. If I get enough substantial feedback on this, I will be happy to
create a feature matrix which makes clear the comparisons and which
may assist in creating a roadmap for future Turbine development.
