J2EE vs. .NET in Productivity Comparison?

Matt Hughes asks: "When does one programmer's preferences (Java over Microsoft-anything because they hate Microsoft, or Microsoft over open-source because open-source is evil) and the variety of choices start to erode productivity? As a J2EE developer for the past few years, I admit that I've become frustrated at the number of choices out there. Every one offers a different way of doing things but they don't all interoperate (JBuilder doesn't natively understand Struts) and none of them -- in my experience -- pulls all of the web technologies together very succinctly. Does Visual Studio .NET and the .NET framework pull this together better than the open-source projects out there, or is it just as complicated in your experience? Is .NET too immature to be trusted? What are your thoughts?" For those interested in the raw performance numbers, Slashdot did a performance comparison between the two technologies, in an earlier article.

"I've recently been asked to produce a report listing the pros and cons of J2EE and .NET as a web application development platform. I've been using J2EE for years now and haven't even touched .Net as I dislike most Microsoft products. However, for the report, I am trying to be objective. From my own experience and from what I've read, it seems the defining issue for some people is choice.

As far as language preference, some argue Microsoft allows too much (VB.NET, C#, and supposedly everything else *eventually*) and J2EE too little (Java). As far as development environments, Microsoft offers too little (Visual Studio .Net, Windows Server 2003, Windows only) and J2EE provides too much (JBuilder, Eclipse, Tomcat, JBoss, Websphere, any OS/hardware combo, etc)."

    Question: What sort of people buy REALHAMSTER?

    REALHAMSTER customers include futurists, artists, animal lovers, film-makers, engineers, computer scientists, health-conscious types, housewives, househusbands you name it. We provide REALHAMSTERs to single men or women, couples seeking to spice up their sex lives, librarians looking for exotic bookends or anyone who is willing to pay outrageous sums of money for the ultimate buggering hamster (for whatever reason).

    Question: Can I have a catalogue or more information mailed to me?

    Sorry, we don't offer a printed catalogue. All useful information about REALHAMSTER is here, on these web pages. A printed catalogue would simply be a waste of dead trees.

    Question: When will you offer a SHE-MALE REALHAMSTER?

    We're not quite sure what such a critter would look like. Since, however, the willy and vaginal options are independent on all models, we should have no trouble coming up with your idea of a "SHE-MALE" REALHAMSTER. Please advise us of the relative positioning of the genitalia.

    Question: What is the price for a REALHAMSTER?

    The Standard REALHAMSTER with two entries is $3,999. The Deluxe three-entry REALHAMSTER is $4,249. Shipping is $50 within New Zealand. Complete information about ordering can be found on our ORDERS page.

    Question: I read somewhere that you offered a less expensive sackcloth hamster. Where can I buy it?

    Our sackcloth hamsters have been discontinued. They were extremely difficult to engineer and were nowhere near as popular as our fur fabric hamster our testing staff refuse to have anything to do with them. We will not resume engineering of sackcloth hamsters.

    Question: Why do you charge so much for REALHAMSTER?

    REALHAMSTER would probably be cheap at thrice the price. REALHAMSTER engineering is labour intensive and the component cost is high. We've bent over backwards to make REALHAMSTER affordable while keeping the high performance, realistic look-and-feel and lifelike flexibility our customers demand of the world's finest buggering hamster.

    Question: Do you offer a payment plan?

    Yes. To qualify for the playment plan, however, you must send us your firstborn. Our interest rate ranges between 11 and 22* percent per annum, depending on the result of an asset-test performed on your immediate family.

    Question: Where else can I buy REALHAMSTER?

    REALHAMSTER cannot be purchased from anywhere but a private sale or this web site.

    Question: How are REALHAMSTERs shipped?

    REALHAMSTERs are shipped by standard freight in a rugged cardboard box purporting to contain something innocuous such as a 20" Triniton monitor. The box has child-proof opening instructions and is sealed with brown packing tape. The box is a cube approximately 2'6" across and weighs about 60 lbs when packed. The hamster is buried deep inside the box in a pile of wood shavings.
