Oracle to buy JBoss (and others)

tfritsch writes "According to a story at News.com it looks like Oracle's shopping spree is to continue. The JBoss acquisition could be big - what does it mean for the future of the JBoss Application Server?" From the article: "Oracle makes the majority of its revenue from its database and applications business. And it has its own line of Java middleware, which competes with JBoss' software, and a set of Java developer tools. However, Oracle has been warming up to open-source products, including Zend's PHP development tools, over the past year because its corporate customers are increasingly using open source software, according to company executives.

Oracle Visions

Anyone out there using Oracle's OID to do LDAP, and their servlet container, in a single app? Anyone using OID + JBoss? Any idea how that app could be improved by integration inside Oracle?

Know any docs on switching existing LDAP/servlet installations to Oracle with OID, to prepare for Oracle's apparently increased servlet support?

You're fishing to get naive moderators to mod you up, aren't you?

You're quite a skilled troll I must say!
