My que I guess. :-)

Karl is quite correct. The last time I looked at the architecture of
JOnAS (from BullS**t) it wasn't exactly topnotch. It won't scale at all.
EJBoss (that I'm working on currently) is a whole different matter. It
will be seriously cool *when it's finished*. Please understand that it's
in development mode right now, so I wouldn't recommend using it for
anything serious just yet.
I have been using Orion myself for the past couple of months, and it has
behaved surprisingly well (not counting a few mishaps that they are on
top of, right Karl? ;-). Since they provide more or less all pieces of
J2EEI for one am very impressed.
Then again, some people have a hard time using great stuff that doesn't
cost them a whole lot of money. If you're one of them, Orion is not for
you. ;-)
