Migrating from Weblogic to JBoss
Posted 2005 Mar 10I’ve done this countless times and saved my company tens-of-thousands of dollars in licensing and (worthless) support costs.
I started doing this when it became clear that WebLogic 6.1 did not work as advertised and I’ve never looked back. The only argument I ever hear in favor of BEA is that they provide support (again, at a cost in the tens-of-thousands of dollars). To which I respond: one, I’ve used BEA’s support (including their on-site Professional Services) and found it wholly lacking and, two, JBoss provides support services in addition to offering a better product!
Update: Coincidentally, my first day taking over a new project: the first production release had to be called off because app deployment is bringing the server down—though it worked perfectly and is configured identically in development. Guess which app server is being used… WebLogic.
It’d be funny if it weren’t so sad.
