Orion is definitely ahead of Jboss technically, but Jboss has more people behind it,
as far as development and debugging goes. With Jboss, you can get a profile of the
founders and board members. It would be nice to have the same profile of some of the
Orion founders and developers, so we can know them a bit more personally. Jboss has
the potential to catch up to Orion, given the number of people involved on the
project. So Orion needs to keep in the technical groove, so to speak. Remember the
story of the Turtle and the rabbit race?

Subject: JBoss verses Orion
I ported our Orion application to JBoss. I love JBoss for
usability, documentation and support. Unfortunately our application is
very
performance dependent the JBoss version ran very slow. After playing
with
cache setting, etc. It seemed like the communications was the main
bottle
neck.
To test this I wrote a simple session bean with one get method that
returns
a Long.
The client looped 10,000 times calling the getter. The Orion version was
6
times faster!
Other tests we ran had Orion running 4x faster.
It seems that JBoss certainly is performance limited.
I'm running on a 900 MHz PIII under Linux with Sun's JDK 1.3
