Eric, "..and so a candidate for gorillahood."
Thank you for the hint.
I am still confused... Could you help me with this one:
"BEA’s WebLogic Server is 54% faster when measured against Oracle’s own benchmark (Pet Store)."
I am having difficulties with access to
bea.com
Is this a result of highly sophisticated advances
in their web programming technology, or what?
Also, from BEA description of their
"WebLogic Express Server":
"The award-winning BEA WebLogic Server, based on a certified implementation of the Java 2 Enterprise Edition (J2EE) specification, powers many of today's most sophisticated e-business applications. And, as the core of the BEA WebLogic E-Business Platform™, BEA WebLogic Server plays an integral role in this tightly integrated, comprehensive infrastructure that delivers commerce, personalization, campaign management, enterprise integration, workflow management, and business-to-business collaboration. From Web and wireless clients to Windows, Unix, and mainframe servers, BEA WebLogic Server manages all of the underlying complexities of your applications, allowing you to focus on delivering new and innovative products and services."
Could you please translate this into normal English?
Joking aside, it seems to me that the whole enterprise is
a typical bubble. What do they sell? Vapor, for
computer illiterate. It cannot last long. Look:
bea.com
"BEA WebLogic Server includes a high-performance Web server for hosting static content and dynamic J2EE Web applications. J2EE Web applications are a collection of HTML/XML pages, Java Server Pages, Servlets, Java classes, applets, images, multimedia files, and other file types."
That's it. Collection of files. Period.
The rest is a sophisticated techno-marketoid-blah-blah,
designed to depress computer-weak heads.
About "proprietary open architecture". I still think
it is a nonsense. As you said, it is not a
"commitee-based" open architecture. An open
architecture committee is usually comprised of
prominent experts is the field, who use their
collective experience to establish long-fetching
approaches in engineering via thorough debates,
and the wide member's representation ensures industry-wide
acceptance. So you really think that few domestic
web hackers can offer something more valuable?
At the end, Microsoft will incorporate all this
stuff into their Win-XXX.
The thing smells like Rambus. Even stock charts are
almost identical.
I think the final will not differ much from this one:
Message 15473502
Sorry, the original proposition lacks normal criticism.
