But I agree, if you don't desperately need some non > standard feature only present in Weblogic (and if you, chances are > your app has got some design issues), I wouldn't ever use it. I find it fairly presumptuous and vaguely insulting to equate the use of vendor-specific features with poor application design. I'm not sure about the state of the art now, but not that long ago application servers like ATG Dynamo had a wealth of features unavailable in free software that made the loss of portability quite worthwhile. the original question was not "Which application server should I use?", but "Has anyone tried Weblogic on FreeBSD?". criticizing choices without context or background doesn't answer either question. chris ------------------------------- Chris Doherty chris [at] randomcamel.net "I think," said Christopher Robin, "that we ought to eat all our provisions now, so we won't have so much to carry." -- A.
