This is a pretty slanted article because the SunONE 7.0 app server which is being discussed wasn't even released until about a week after the article was published. SunONE 7.0 is what is bundled with Solaris 9. It's probably a safe bet Bloomberg was referring to iPlanet6.x and that he had no knowledge or experience with SunONE 7
I'm a long time JBoss fan and user, but I've used the SunONE 7.0 server too and it has come a long in addressing previous concerns and has know become very WebLogic like in terms of ease of use, documentation and support. It is a complete, easy to use and comprehensive j2ee solution. So, how can you say "summarized nicely" by JB? Have you tried it out yourself? If not here's a link that may open your eyes and mind (http://wwws.sun.com/software/products/appsrvr/home_appsrvr.html).
