IMHO, I think going the JBoss/OpenSource route has very huge advantages
in the long run. Other than the obvious, (you can fix bugs you find,
add any feature you want), the EJB Container becomes less mysterious and
magical, and more predictable and understandable. Since we've been
using JBoss, we understand the EJB spec tons better and have a better
understanding of what is going on under the covers. This has helped us
to write better code and to plan better for the future. It really helps
to have a total picture of both the design of your application and the
infrastructure it runs on top of.
As for taking the heat? I really don't care. I can always find another
job(I'm overworked as it is....;-) )
BTW, what does our app look like? We're having an ArrowPoint
loadbalancer balancing to multiple instances of Jetty/Jboss on multiple
machines with a very large DB server on the back-end. We need to
support 10K - 100k users.
