Dear Community,
we are an ISV that, as a benefit to our customers, provides a J2EE
server to our more than 1.000 enterprise customers (more than ten
thousand users). The intention ist both (a) we can rely on a specific
product and have no need to learn how to support a dozen of products (b)
the customer doesn't need to bother with product selection and installation.
We are planning to shift from the current product to GlassFish, and to
switch from J2EE 1.4 to Java EE 5 (i. e. from CMP to JPA). Since all of
our customers have the need of high stability (i. e. as less admin
interventions as possible / we do not talk about high availability,
which would be reached by a lot administration due to doubled servers),
we want to know whether the current stable GlassFish product (v2ur1) is
able to fulfill that needs.
The usage of the current product (JOnAS 4) failed due to too much bugs
and too slow bug fixing by the team (some bugs still exist even after
years). That vendor just didn't understand what "production use in
industrial environment" really means in terms of product quality and
runtime stability.
What is your opinion: Is GlassFish v2ur1 "somewhat" rock solid? Would
you recommend using it for industial manufacturing environments with
guaranteed answering times less one second and up to 100 concurrent
write transactions at each point in time?
Thanks
Markus
