The "conceptualness" of dotNET and J2EE are very similar, although a statement like this could start a fatwa against the messenger ;)

A good start to comparing architectural frameworks is from the perspective of distributed applications. CORBA and COM/DCOM were poles apart compared with the methodology behind J2EE/dotNET.

Currently I am advising a company on migrating their applications to dotNET. With a recent merger they are now having to integrate more disparate applications. It is proving very statisfying running instances of J2EE components from within a dotNET application. Imagine trying this with a DCOM/CORBA bridge!!!

The greatest challenge is refactoring the data schema - a problem that has nothing to do with frameworks and has been with us since the early days of Cotts!

In the short term the more prominant platform will be decided from a jossle of marketing dollars and stability. Developers tend to swing for J2EE, pun intended, because of the relative ease of obtaining solid information from many sources - many different sources crowds out the less useful info place by software companies.

DotNET is still new. The information on dotNET is stritly controled by Microsoft - dampening my appreciation. Microsoft will be better served if it opened the technology to allow other companies to partake in a development role. i.e. in the sense of IBM, SUN, WebLogic partaking and pushing J2EE.

My humble 2 cents.
