Weblogic stinks

That's an understatement. This bloody thing was not made for development. I'm not sure what exactly it was made for.. but it's sure as hell is not debugging Java code. .

Weblogic 4.5.1 was crummy, but at least you could run it in debug mode and it only crashed about 4 or 5 times per debug session.

Weblogic 6.1 amazingly enough got worse. Does Bea not expect people to debug their code in a debugger? Not only is it painfully slow (painfully doesn't begin to describe this) but it core dumps every 10 bloody minutes.

So, let's see.. we have..

1. Slower than molasses.
2. Core dumps at the most inopportune moments.
3. Takes forever to start up without a debugger even attached to it.

Why are we using this instead of JBoss again?

*phew* I feel better now..

i've never had a good experience with weblogic.

honestly, i wonder why people actually use it.

i mean i'm sure there must be some reason, but everyone i know who's come anywhere near it have all these horror stories about it. does it actually have any good points?

I hear they don't use it at Yahoo!

You should apply for a job there. I hear they're hiring Java folks. :-)

Could always use a Yahoo! job offer as leverage to try to get into a position where you can choose what programs you get to use to develop your code...

Techie, you haven't been out in the real world much, have you :)

Yah.. yah.. fixed..
I wrote that while being seriously pissed off.. typos are an accepteable risk :)

Hey I'm only 15, haven't even looked at a resume form...

I'll take any free jobs being handed out..
lol.
