And then there were 3

Oracle has now officially acquired BEA, leaving the app server marketplace for Java EE at 3 major vendors with IBM and JBoss completing the trinity. After having personal experience with both BEA WebLogic and Oracle's Application Server, I plea to Oracle, just use BEA's app server and don't mess with it. Orion was a good product and you turned it into a trainwreck. There is no reason that an application server install should take 4 days and 300 gb of memory. JSPs shouldn't be stored in the database. Oh, and your installer should not need to install JDK 1.2 to run. Leave it alone Oracle and focus on improving your DB.
