Boy, do I ever second those sentiments. So far, we've had *great* luck with
Orion, including CMP EJBs/JSP/taglibs/filters...
I've worked with the commercial servers, Enhydra, and jBoss as well, and I
really hope that Orion is released into the open-source community if they're
going to tank as a business. My impression is that this is a well-written
product, particularly in terms of speed. It would be shame to see it
disappear.
By the way, if some help is needed to host (or provide an alternative to)
orionsupport, please let me know. I know the boss here; I'm sure we could
work something out.
Thanks,
Rian

> I've been watching Orion for awhile using/testing. It so close to being
ideal for me and my clients and we are ready to buy. But development seems
to have stopped lately. Updates to the web site are virtually non-existant
(ie ORION 1.2 released on main site)...meanwhile we are up to 1.4.5 since
Jan 22. I am happy with its current state. I just sucessfully tested SSL
with it. I haven't done much in terms of EJB yet, but my experiences with
orion still have been great.

business....do it soon....so I can look at enhydra/weblogic/websphere
again...I haven't looked at them in awhile because I have been happy with
orion.
