Gemstone/J is virtually non-existent (I placed the only vote so far)
I think because most Gemstone users don't frequent this list anymore
because they are not having any problems...and they don't want to
read the millions of 'weblogic problem' posts on this list.
I think a better question to ask in a poll is what appserver have you
used to complete an entire project and successfully deployed it in a
large scale environment. It seems to me that a lot of voters are just
getting their toes wet and are 'playing' with some of the free appservers
or evaluation versions of the commercial ones. Judging by the average
post on this list that seems to describe most of the readers of this
mailing list. Of course there are numerous exceptions to this grossly
over-generalized observation, and I'm not going to name them all, I'm sure
you all know who you are.
Cheers,
Frank
