On another note, can you and/or someone, qualify/quantify what you mean by
the following previously made statement :
"For the most part, Orion is still very much ahead of the pack, and the
speed is stil EXCELLENT."
?
In the Apache Tomcat list I asked the following question:
"Can someone suggest to me what Apache and/or other OpenSource products could
be integrated to compete with functionally and/or considered in the same
category as BEA WebLogic?
I don't necessarily need all of what BEA has to offer at this time, however,
I would like to know, generally, what it would take to get there without the
big $$$$$ price tag."
Thank You,
Anthony
