I am not able to find actual differences between these two Java EE servers.
From my past experience, I found out following:
- WL is evolving more faster than WAS.
- WL is more user friendly than WAS. To simply deploy a application in WAS, we need to go in deep and its difficult to find if u are new to it.
- I found out that WAS is slower in some machine than WL.
- I found out that Classloading is easier to understand and effective in WL than WAS
Above all are my experiences but not actual facts. Am I correct in all my findings?
I want to know more in this respect. Please clear my doubts. If possible please provide each Java EE server’s pros and cons.
I need to find more differences in respect to pros and cons, performance, security, usability and classloading.
I agree, Weblogic is currently and in my mind superior to Websphere, but there is no proof of it.
Java EE technology is moving and the answer really depends on your application architecture, and the pros/cons features you’re (potentially) using on each server, and the global environment (Is it for use in a complete IBM information system with bunch of IBM products such MQ, WAS Portal etc…)
Based on my experience, regarding developper usability and deployer usability, I prefer Weblogic since I get:
Regarding classloading, you should refer to Java doc stuff, even if you can tweak some things that I would not recommend (but it shouldn’t be the case since you’re evoking J2EE).
Regarding performances I think it is subjective and depends on the JVM, the OS, the hardware.
Regarding security I have no opinion, it is complex anyway.
