Okay, I lied. One more post about app servers. Pramati Technologies is marketing an application server, Sun-certified with the little Java logo and everything, targeted at small and medium businesses plus ISVs. The nice bit, from my point of view, is that they sell a plethora of packages that may be embedded or bundled with your product and distributed to your customers. Plus the price is much more in line with what a small startup can afford to float until the invoices get paid.

Yes, I know all about JBoss and Orion. Sometimes, even I want support from somebody besides me and the mouse in my pocket.

I'll be evaluating this too, and will post my invective later.
