  1. See For Yourself... by JohnA · · Score: 2 · on Who is Using Tomcat or Jetty in Production?
    Check out AnalystScan, a DB and JSP intensive site running exclusively on Tomcat and PostgreSQL. It's survived several mentions in the mainstream press, as well as a mini slashdotting.

    The only caveats I have for you are to be sure that you use the groovy built in connection pooling for your DB resources, and that you tune your JSPs before going into production.

    Good luck!

    Please be gentle.

  3. Good thing the analysts have this one covered! by JohnA · · Score: 4, Insightful · on WorldCom CFO Accused of $3.6 Billion Fraud

    Yet more proof that analysts do not have a clue as to what is going on in the market. I particularly like JP Morgan's coverage, which was initiated a long-term buy at around 30, then upgraded to a buy at around 8.

  5. Easy, Robust, and Open! by JohnA · · Score: 3 · on Building A J2EE App with Linux
    AnalystScan (http://www.analystscan.com) is a high volume, dynamic Java powered web site. It runs PURELY open software (Jakarta Tomcat, Linux, PostgreSQL, Sendmail, JBoss), and has even withstood a mini-slashdotting when it was the focus of a slashdot posting regarding stock market analysts.

    If you want to get going quickly, I recommend that you begin using Jakarta Tomcat 4. It has some features that make developing true J2EE apps a lot easier (JNDI support, JMS support, etc.) Remember that many J2EE apps don't actually need EJBs, which means that you do not need to deploy a J2EE container. If you choose to deploy a container, I recommend JBoss. It has some quirks, but is true free software, and the latest versions are actually beginning to outperform some commercial EJB containers.

    Finally, take heed of some other people's comments... you do not need to have every Java TLA running for the solution to be a J2EE application. Choose the bits and pieces that meet your needs, and don't throw in the kitchen sink just because it's the technology du jour.

  6. Analysts are the ultimate sheep! by JohnA · · Score: 5, Interesting · on SEC Settles Microsoft Accounting Investigation
    Sorry to go off on a rant here, but analysts are the biggest farce in the financial industry. Don't take my word for it... see for yourself. Analysts consistenly raise or lower their rating of a company AFTER a major rise or fall.

    Anyone who uses an analyst's recommendations as anything other than a source of humor needs to seriously reconsider their actions. Here's another great example of how "accurate" analysts are. Merrill Lynch is one of the worst.

    Just my $0.02.

  8. CSFB has a LONG history of blunders... by JohnA · · Score: 2, Interesting · on Credit Suisse First Boston Fined $100 Million

    CSFB has a LONG history of blunders, the least of which is their sub-standard analysis department.

    Check out their calls... they even rated Enron a "Strong Buy" when the stock was near its all time high.

    While all of the Wall Street houses seem to have skeletons in their closet, CSFB seems to be unable to hide theirs well...
