Yes, let's talk about this. I for one am interested in a performance
comparison of WebObjects vs. WebSphere. On February 17, Alex sent out a
nice PDF that had a chart showing WebObjects out-performing the competition.
However, not all of the competition was on the chart - for instance,
WebSphere. WebSphere, I know, claims to be very fast, too. Does anyone know
of a more complete, recent study, than the one by SQLi, which Alex sent out?
One that includes, say, WebObjects, NetDynamics, and Oracle Application
Server? The SQLi report says it tested Oracle Application Server 4.0, but
it didn't put a line for it on the "Benchmark Results (extreme workload)"
chart that I can see.
My interest in this is not purely academic, by the way. I'm working for a
company that's about to take a good hard look at the App servers out there,
and performance and scalability are going to be the most important metrics,
followed closely by quality of frameworks and ease of development.
Thanks in advance,
