What the Yahoo posters think of EXLN, Part 1:
ObjectStore

Primary problem with ObjectStore is that it is owned by ODIS (not enough name recognition and money)... Oracle with their "e" PR campaign is still winning the battle against all other DBMS including ObjectStore. In many cases Oracle 8i isn't the best performing DBMS, but the customers still buy or develop off of Oracle 8i. It comes back to that no one will ever get fired for buying Oracle. Where ObjectStore and OODBMS will succeed is when the masses adopts XML. OODBMS are superior DBMS when it comes to storing XML data. ORCL should buy ODIS. How's that for a thought. Any way you slice it, ODIS has some good technology and some one will want it. Oracle buys ODIS and sells javlin to BEAS, holds onto ObjectStore and eXcelon to augment their XML capabilities. (they are already webbifying all of their applications, How about adding XML into everything, becomming a strong player in the Supply Chain market.) There's a major cash cow on that deal. (Software royalties on that software deal will be awesome.) Stay long on ODIS!
webMethods doing an ODB? HA!!!

Are you out of your freakin mind? Do you know how hard it is to create an ODBMS? Do you know how much money and time and resources ODIS has invested in ObjectStore? Did you also know that WebMethods actually USES ObjectStore in their B2B product? Get a clue dude and do your due diligence...
WebMethods competes with eXcelon from ODIS and has no desire to compete with ObjectStore. WebMethods likes to stay as datasource agnostic as possible. They are a B2B integration platform provider: that means talk to ANY data source and use ANY data source if you need persistence. They just happen to use ObjectStore for one piece of their solution...
Go pump webMethods on their board.. not here =P
Javlin could be hot soon

Javlin has the potential to ride the coattails of one of the hot application servers - BEA WebLogic, Websphere etc. This product could be the one for ODI.
From ODI press release a few weeks ago:
"Javlin is 100 percent EJB-compliant and it plugs into leading EJB servers, such as BEA WebLogic, SilverStream, and IBM Websphere, to provide transparent high-performance storage for Enterprise Beans and other Java objects. Furthermore, ODI and BEA Systems have partnered to integrate Javlin and the WebLogic EJB Server more deeply to deliver a high-performance, highly scalable EJB-server environment specifically suited to supporting business-critical applications.
``BEA WebLogic Server provides an industrial-strength solution for building transaction-intensive e-commerce and other mission-critical applications using Java enterprise standards, including EJB components,' said Scott Dietzen, chief technology officer of WebXpress, a BEA company. ``Javlin integrated with BEA WebLogic Server delivers a powerful transaction platform linking the best-of-breed data server and Java application server technologies. Customers can leverage the synergy of Javlin and BEA WebLogic Server to rapidly develop and deploy the next-generation of e-commerce solutions to drive the Internet economy.' " |
