What the Yahoo posters think of EXLN, Part 3:
Javlin and EJB

comparing to COM+ from microsoft, EJB will sure win and JSP+Servlet+EJB is exploding on server side web application market. many companies are upgrading their ISAPI or CGi or NSAPI program to Servlet
this lead to the rise of Application server sector(include BEAS(No.1 over 50 market share,IBM,SSSW,BLSW,PRSW,PVSW,UNFY,PRGS)and BEAS spend 10 Billion to buy TheoryCenter(it just menas 80+ EJBs)!!
but EJB also have weakness, the performance of EntityBean is not so good if we use RDBMS like oracle or SQLserver. so this provide more opportunities for ObjectStore to fit in, at least far more opportunites than before. in fact, I have heard many companies will choose OODBMS in future project.
and what is Javlin? in a web application, we sure need more than one EJB server, maybe more when client hit rise, but the trouble comes for we have only one Database, so javlin fit in, it is simply a EJB cache server which provide in memory access to EJB, wonderful idea and far more performence compraing to direct access db.
ODIS caching patents

ODIS has patented caching technology inside ObjectStore, lets them keep a distributed cache of middle-tier data thats kept transaction consistent.
They don't seem to be doing anything else with this tech. The patent seemed broad to me when I looked at, and might be usable/enforceable in Internet acceleration market. Would'nt want them to lose sight of XML B2B opportunity though.
XML/XSL/XQL versus SQL/SQL3

Object Design failed in their attempt to make OODB succeed RDB, mostly they didn't have the marketing prowess to take on Oracle. Now theyre going more vertical in B2B XML.
The big possibility to look for is for XML/XSL/XQL replacing SQL/SQL3 as the new common way to describe and exchange data. eXcelon would be a huge player in that scenario.
I think that's somewhat likely, in time, but I'm investing in B2B XML first as a more realistic play.
The leading indicator in that shift would be Oracle talking about XML/XSL/XQL. |
