lack of response

2000-04-07 Thread Kit Cragin

Anyone know why the Orion team does not want to sell their product? It seems
crazy to me that one of the few app servers that supports the latest specs
to a high degree doesn't respond to any messages.

I was initially very impressed with the product, but support is less than
zero except for the few kind people who helped me out in this forum.
Admittedly, we haven't purchased anything yet - but are 120% in need of
something like Orion. A few simple responses would go a long way.

Anybody know of a good app server that supports the latest standards like
JMS 1.0, servlet 2.2, etc.? I would greatly appreciate it.

Quite simply, they're run off their feet at the moment.

I know quite a few of the team and they're currently madly coding,
documenting and supporting existing installs - trying to get the best
quality 1.0 product out the door they can. For my mind Orion is extremely
stable for a product thats 1.0 and has been for ages.

The other reason that you're having problems is the general knowledge level
of the J2EE platform is VERY LOW due to the fact the specs are constantly
being revamped, it's all so new and has a relatively small user base - go
try and get support from M$ for ASP ;)

I find this forum helpful as long as you're not expecting 20 minute response
times.

My $20.
