We are running Solaris 2.8 (initially on Sun 450s) and considering WebLogic Server, WebSphere, and iPlanet. We had originally selected WebSphere, but we have found that it may not be a good match with Solaris. WebLogic is the market leader, while iPlanet is a conglomeration of Netscape, Kiva, etc. that we are still skeptical about.
If you have any experiences with these 3 application servers on Solaris, we would appreciate your opinions: How do they install? How easy/difficult is configuration and tuning? Is the app server stable on Solaris? How’s the throughput and performance?
We are reevaluating these products, and I will be happy to post what we discover, within a month.
Thanks in advance.
