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."

spent too much time on the j2ee crapper lately? a little sensitive? insulting my coding sk1llz? I don't care to convince you or anyone else. the train has left the station packed with the zealots, the uninformed and the coerced (mmm, maybe a theme for this time of year).

this is just me walking away from the debacle and lamenting the waste.
