Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: 9iAS vs. Weblogic and Websphere
Ryan
My impression is that 9iAS probably has the best database interface. The others look pretty primitive in comparison, basically just JDBC when you get to the bottom. Also, note that Oracle is currently running a special to lure WebLogic and Websphere users away. I think in this confusing, evolving market for application servers, a lot depends on your company's approach. If your company is highly committed to Oracle, then 9iAS is the logical choice. If you are highly committed to IBM, then Websphere is the logical choice. In our case we had to persuade people to move away from MS, and the argument was that you wouldn't be locked into one vendor, so the tendency has been to avoid Oracle for the non-DB pieces. I think the enterprise-scale AS are so complex that it is hard to compare feature-for-feature.

Subject: 9iAS vs. Weblogic and Websphere
I havent dug into 9iAS yet, but I want to learn atleast one of the major web servers. It appears that WebLogic and Websphere dominate the market. It also appears that 9iAS is tedious and has a poor design relative to these other two.
What do you think? How different are the webservers? If I pick up one, does it translate?
Also, what functionality does 9iAS add that Apache does not have in and of itself? I was able to run 9i Forms with just apache and OC4J?
