Man, I guess Weblogic has come a long way since 5.1 in terms of 
enjoyment to use. Good to hear that for the people who use it. We 
switched to Macromedia's Jrun 4 and have never looked back. The cost 
savings alone made my boss jump for joy. And the development cycle time 
changed so much for the better, the developers were jumping for joy as 
well. Really not intended as an ad for Jrun, but I know it tends to get 
a bad rep in the industry. 4.0 has come a long way for them.

I find between deploying on Jrun and Jboss, I can find all the places 
where our code isn't up to spec. In the conversion from Weblogic to 
Jrun, we found many places in our app where the code broke spec and 
should have never worked in the first place. Best example is member 
variables in SLSBs that are set in one remote method invocation, and 
used in another.
