They have been quite innovative and are
causing the big guys to take notice. Branding is something they have to do to
make money and stay alive. Oracle wants this market and sees that they can take
the best from it and put it into their Oracle server which caters to the big
companies. It is too risky to try new things there, but in JBoss the customer
is more used to innovation and more frequent changes.
I think JBoss has become a much more
serious contender in the SMB market. They can’t play with the big boys,
but then they are too expensive and require too much work to fit the SMB model.

What does everyone generally think about JBoss as an app server?
What does everyone think about them "branding" the technologies that
they incorporate (e.g. JBoss Rules, JBoss Seam)? Do they have some
relationship with Oracle now? Just curious...
Thanks,
