My opinionated take is the following: * The "official" JavaEE is dead and is now a pure volunteer effort under https://jakarta.ee/ <https://jakarta.ee/> . The "appserver" concept has almost disappeared and morphed to something different. All the past market leaders have moved on to more lightweight solutions, though some still cling to .war deployment.
* SpringBoot is the market leader in the Java world. If you are looking to build a marketable Java developer resume, learn SpringBoot. * If you need to write apps for your org or your customers, and are not constrained by the PHBs opinion, use Bootique. It is a better platform in the modern appserver-free world. Bootique is "commercially-viable" in a sense that there are hundreds of apps that run in prod for a number of years. But it is still an open source effort supported by community and a mid-sized company (ObjectStyle), so it is sometimes an uphill battle in organizations that are looking to conform to the lowest common denominator. So you decide :) Andrus > On Feb 13, 2020, at 3:06 PM, Gino Pacitti via Webobjects-dev > <webobjects-dev@lists.apple.com> wrote: > > Thanks for that… it looks really interesting… > > Is it a commercially viable alternative to some of the others like JBoss, > Tomcat, Websphere etc.. > > I would like to add another feather to my bow but not really sure which > architecture to devote time to so that I can work on bigger projects in a > team... > > > > >> On 13 Feb 2020, at 11:16, Andrus Adamchik <and...@objectstyle.org >> <mailto:and...@objectstyle.org>> wrote: >> >> We are using Bootique: https://bootique.io/ <https://bootique.io/> >> >> Just like SpringBoot, its idea is that it is not an "appserver".
