Open Source Winning Java Server Market

Seldo writes "C|net is reporting that free open-source J2EE servers are gaining market share. From the article: "Analysts say it's difficult to measure the extent to which open-source Java application servers, such as Tomcat and JBoss, have eaten into the revenue of commercial providers of Java application servers. But the growing popularity of the open-source application servers is undeniable." The article also points out that the emergence of J2EE as a standard led to a commoditization of Java-based application servers, giving the low-cost OSS alternatives an advantage."

  1. JBoss is okay, but Tomcat.... by jsse · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    just doesn't do the job right, at least it doesn't work well with database sessions. More than once it locks up database session when the corresponding http session ended prematurely. Sometime it returns errorous status when the database session closes its connection, the http session just died, while it should not. Well enough rant. :(

  2. Re:Moderation options by djcapelis · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    > How are they stored, anyway? in an enum? or some sort of array? I suppose they only store the most recent moderation done to a comment, as an enum, and then the score as a byte or something. How hard would it actually be to add a moderation option? hmmm, I hear this slashcode thing might be able to give you some insight (no pun intended) on that issue
