In my opinion Orion has a lot of potential. The amount of work that I have
been willing to do with it has been constrained solely by the lack of
documentation. 95% of the docs that come with Orion have nothing whatsoever
to do with Orion, and I already had these other docs.
Every other app server, or CORBA ORB, that I have used or evaluated has
featured copious documentation related specifically to the server or ORB.
Granted, the Orion team does state that the server is still for advanced
users. In my estimation the only thing that rules it out for *any* user,
including advanced users, is the lack of docs. What's worse, the docs that
_do_ exist frequently conflict, or are plain wrong.
Seriously, how long would it take to produce an HTML document which is
exactly the parallel of the Sun J2EE Developer's Guide
(http://www.javasoft.com/j2ee/j2sdkee/techdocs/guides/ejb/html/TOC.html),
but for Orion? Maybe a week? That would be immensely useful.

Would anyone care to express there likes/dislikes about this product?
I have found it very straight forward, stable and fast. I have only been
looking at it for a few days, and haven't had the chance to test it
thoroughly yet though. I would love to hear what other peoplke have to
say.
Thanks!
