AFIK Orion is a very small company, only a hand full of people which is
great. IMHO lagre companies waste a lof of time and money on meetings
and stuff like that which is really bad for productions. Before starting
for myself I worked in a couple of those and, eventhough the salary is
generally very good the working climate sucks. I hate meetings, 90 % of
the time is wasted discussing off-topic issues. The company I worked for
had about 50 developers working which isn't even that big (considering
Weblogic witb it's 1500). Every day started with a staff meeting of one
hour with the section heads and one hour of the section heads with all
the section members, resulting in about man hours lost per section per
day.
If there is anything that makes small companies great, it's their
agility. Orion has already implemented mos t of the EJB 2.0 specs while
weblogin has just launched it's fully 1.1 compliant server.
I'd take Orion over any othjer server, and not only because of it's
price, but because it seems there are some really competent people
working on this server.
