I just wanted to echo Jon's thoughts here. I am setting up and administering
Weblogic for a large government agency. They have money to blow, so price
doesn't deter them, but software from the Apache group is already better.
Unless you have some specific reason for hooking into other BEA products, like
Tuxedo or eLink (which is our case) I would not drop the money for Weblogic.
