I, so far, have not been overly impressed with JRun 2.3. I have attributed
this somewhat to the fact that the JSP spec isn't 1.0 yet. I could get no
assistance in setting it up, took me four days to finally get it working.
There are some serious bugs in the software right now. The worst one is
anytime a JSP page has to regenerate, you will get a ClassCastException for
each page that regenerates and have bounce JRun to clear it. I also get
random "Unable to obtain indexed properties errors" when using <LOOP>, they
seem to have disabled all but the #include server directives (can't use #if,
#echo, etc.) and I can't get an answer about execution order of directives
(i.e. which comes first, <% statements, <LOOP> or <DISPLAY> and when does
the javascript get executed. There also appear to be some variable scoping
bugs in that within the same statement I can reference some variables with
<DISPLAY> and some I can't.
Also, unless you pony up the $595, it seems you get no support from
LiveSoftware.
I have been able to hack workarounds for most of these issues and my project
is too far along to back out now, so I will be sticking with JRun for the
short term. In the long run though, I will look at something like
StoryServer from Vignette which I have worked with at other clients and is
awesome.
Hope this helps,
Darren
