JBoss Users

• “It didn't take long to figure out that JBoss had everything we needed and then some. JBoss is 100 percent pure Java and has an HTTP 1.1 Web server, hot deploys, clustering, JMX, and more JBoss allowed us to take our existing Servlets running under Tomcat and run them under JBoss. We started taking advantage of the available J2EE features immediately by tossing DBConnectionManager and using JNDI for DataSources and JavaMail. JBoss and our applications can be deployed to Windows 2000 Server, Linux and AS/400.” - Steve Goldsmith, Application Software Development Supervisor at FCCI Insurance Group

• “When the company finally deployed its first EJB application, in December 2002, it was running on JBoss, an open-source application server that competes with platforms such as BEA Systems' WebLogic and IBM's WebSphere.

That first application tracks order status in a variety of legacy systems, handling as many as 75,000 transactions per hour, says Miller. Reliability and speed were essential considerations. "We got a lot of benefits from taking our time—for instance, the EJB 2.0 spec matured a lot," he says. JBoss improved too and added such enterprise-friendly features as support for clustered servers. Corporate Express, a $5 billion company, now has six EJB applications in production, all running on JBoss.” CIO Magazine, April, 2003

• “March 14, 2003: WorldCom tosses out a commercial app server in favor of JBoss for a key network application.

The application, written mostly in Java, helps WorldCom's thousand-plus network engineers monitor their network, says Jerry Shifrin, a senior engineer in WorldCom's network management group. Those are the folks responsible for handling any problems that may arise with WorldCom's giant network, which stretches more than 95,000 miles long, and carries a significant amount of the world's Internet traffic .

The application ran for several years on a commercial application server - Shifrin won't say which one -- but over time, says Shifrin, "we grew increasingly dissatisfied with our commercial vendor, for lots of reasons, including support, product quality and license restrictions."

So about a year ago, Shifrin's group began experimenting with JBoss, porting its application to JBoss, and running tests for performance, stability and scalability. "We were pretty satisfied with the results ," says Shifrin.

They weren't the only ones who had to be convinced, however. WorldCom management had questions about JBoss. "They wanted to know about security and support, and the risks of working with an open source product," Shifrin recalls.

JBoss is newer than [open source products] Apache or Tomcat, says Shifrin, but it has a very good reputation within the open source community, and there are a lot of people using it. "We were able to establish that the risks were manageable, and if, for whatever reason, people stopped maintaining it, we could either maintain it ourselves, or migrate to another product."

With management's approval, JBoss was put into production last December, running on a large Unix server. So far, says Shifrin, "it's been rock solid, and I don't think our users are aware that anything has changed."

One change that Shifrin appreciates -- as much or more than the fact that JBoss is available at no cost -- is the lack of licensing headaches. "If we wanted to move from a four-processor to an eight-processor machine with the commercial app server," he says, "we had to go through a time consuming WorldCom procurement cycle to upgrade the license. From my point of view, what's important is not that the software is free, it's that we're free to use it as we like."

That has allowed Shifrin's team to set up JBoss installations at WorldCom data centers in several locations around the country. “ - CIO Update - http://www.cioupdate.com/news/article.php/2109641

• “With more than four million downloads since its inception, JBoss is ready for prime time. What better time, then, to announce a strategic alliance with integration specialists IONA Technologies?

• What the JBoss Group gets out of such a pact is the acceleration of the adoption of the JBoss application server at a time when open source is becoming an increasingly attractive option for enterprise customers.

• What IONA gets is the opportunity to forge new enterprise-level relationships within those organizations.

• As the IONA announcement accompanying the agreement puts it, "The alliance offers [our] customers a compelling value proposition, bringing together IONA's expertise in solving and supporting the integration needs of the world's most complex and highly distributed enterprise systems, with the industry's most popular open source application server.“” – Java Developer Journal - http://www.sys-con.com/story/?storyid=37845

• “We at Nielsen Media Research (National IT division), had a 4 day intensive Advanced JBoss training. This was conducted by Juha Lindfors, one of the core JBoss system developers and trainers. This training was well received and based on the feedback provided by the participants to me, every one enjoyed the sessions and were able to learn many technical details and nuances using JBoss and J2EE. The training material and hands-on exercises were in-depth and excellent. As we currently use JBoss and plan to continue to use in the near future for new development, this training provided a lot of good, innovative ideas to architect and develop applications that will be very easy to maintain and run smoothly and fast on Production environments.” - S.Satyamoorthy, Primary Architect, Nielsen Media Research

• Comments from Users Interviewed by SG Cowen – “Among the deployments we have done are 1) customers want

web presence, 2) they refuse to use MSFT technology, have the skill sets to write Java, 3) cannot afford BEA or WebLogic.” System Integrator

– “By using JBoss, we can save a lot of money by not having to purchase the app server license.” Financial Services Company

– “We use JBoss when we have to deploy an application at a client site and don’t want to spend money on a license. JBoss is the best of the free application servers, making it the best choice.” – Insurance Company

– “We used to have many WebLogic licenses but due to telecom depression, budgets are tight, but demands for IT have not diminished. Using open source is a good way to continue development. J2EE assures portability.” Telco

• “Norwegian Air Shuttle came to Conduct asking for help building a system handling the day-to-day flight operations for customer management and handling of booking data, enabling ticketless and ticketed travel solutions. Being the mission critical system it is, availability is a major factor, stability and performance but also transactional integrity of processed data is key, therefore an EJB platform was a natural choice.”

• “There was never any question regarding the choice of application server. JBoss is the most flexible platform we have ever met (compared with IBM Microsoft, BEA, etc.) and without the flexibility within the EJB 2.0 spec and its implementation in JBoss we would hardly have been able to deliver such a complex product within the given timeframe.” – Conduct – Norwegian Systems Integrator

• “We've been using JBoss for about 5 years now and we've always found it to be rock solid. We've had experience with JBoss in various environments and also had development experience with other application servers such as Haht, SilverStream, BEA WebLogic and WebSphere. In terms of resource efficiency, ease of deployment and support of rapid application development I rate JBoss at the top of the list.

At Sony Singapore, we used JBoss to drive Citibank credit card transactions because the Haht server could not interface with the JNI adapter from Citibank - running on Sun Solaris.

At the Department of Education and Training, NSW we are running our Response Tester application with JBoss on a True64 platform with Java 1.4.1 - without a hiccup on the container.

We developed our FlexCorp framework around JBoss because we had access to MBeans infrastructure well before other application servers and this was an important feature for our development.

We chose JBoss because it is a solid, scalable EJB container. It is fast and we can run it with less resources than other application servers. Our philosophy is about simple and reliable IT solutions and JBoss is certainly compatible with our aims. For us the JBoss choice was not a gamble, it was just sensible business practice.” – April 19, 2003 – JBoss User Forum

• “We recently finished installation and ATP of our product with a mobile operator. Needless to say how demanding is the process of delivering a product to a mobile operator, preferring JBoss over the competitors certainly was the right decision and helped achieving this goal. The Telco industry usually tends to accept products that are based on "well known" brands. Trying to make it with JBoss was not trivial, but after proving the overall delivered performance in the lab even the most prudent ones were convinced.” – July 15, 2003 – JBoss Newsforum

• “We have a production system now up and running with one site in Canada and 2 more coming up in the USA and Europe in the next month.All systems have web services that allow our users to view essential customer service CAD and business information. It is quick and since it is all java we have written the code with complete unit testing using junit, cactus and performance monitoring using jmeter.Everything works great and makes my life much better now. Thanks jboss developers!” – June 14, 2003 – JBoss Newsforum

• “As ISV, we have put our new Warehouse application into production for more customers using JBoss and MySQL. We started with JBoss 2.2.2 and are now 3.2.1. The system has both Swing and some web clients for status requests using JBoss EJBs (1.1) and Jetty. In production now from more than 2 year and everything is running without problems.All tested with other J2EE servers, at end JBoss was the best in performance and price.” - May 18, 2003 – JBoss NewsForum

• “We convinced our boss to cancel the Weblogic maintenance agreement of over 80K per year and go with JBoss. We have implemented 2 production apps. 1 external site is rolling out 4/1/2003 with SSH. All of this in about 4 months time. Word is spreading in our organization and others are porting apps from Weblogic to JBoss “ – March 5, 2003 – JBoss NewsForum

• “I have written applications on Weblogic, IPlanet, and JBoss. Frankly I will chose JBoss any day because I don't have to turn around and tell my customer to spend a fortune on licensing (oh yeah and it works, IPlanet doesn't).” - Bryan on JDJ Thread

• “I recently designed and implemented a general use Pub/Sub notification system for a LARGE company, developed and deployed on JBoss 3.04 and Oracle 8i. It seems to me that JBoss is J2EE-compatible and performant enough to be useful. And the price is right (even big public companies try to save money now and then). The App. itself uses Stateless Session, Entity (CMP/CMR/CMT) and message-driven EJBs within JBoss. All seemed to work pretty much as advertised.

Deployment on JBoss is especially sweet -- just drop in the EAR and go!

I say 'Keep up the good work' to the JBoss team!” -Matthew S. Ring (from The Server Side post)

Analysts

• “Open source solutions have reached a level of maturity where they can be seriously considered as an operational part of an enterprise IT architecture… Linux, Apache, Samba, Struts, Tomcat, JBoss, Perl, Mozilla, MySQL and other open source technologies are capabale of replacing closed source solutions in many organizations… A full J2EE application server, JBoss is gaining adoption in some IT shops as a replacement for BEA Weblogic, Websphere and the SunOne Application Server. The increasing interest in JBoss is due to its ability to provide clustering support plus the fact that it includes JCA, JMX and CMP. It is a modular architecture. Early users of JBoss are reporting transaction loads of over 100,000 transactions per day (Note: per hour at places like Corporate Express).” Stacey Quandt, Giga/Forrester July 2003.

• “In conversations with customer panelists at the JBoss User Group, we were surprised by the mission critical nature of apps in production on JBoss and by claims that performance was at least comparable to that previously achieved by BEA.” – Credit Suisse First Boston Research report on BEA June 16, 2003

• “In a cost-cutting IT environment, JBoss Group is giving firms the confidence to migrate off its expensive J2EE app servers… Customers told Forrester they use JBoss Group and the open source JBoss app server because they offer: 1) Development and deployment freedom, 2) Better Support Services, 3) Access to the code.” – Josh Walker, Forrester Group JBoss Group: Driving An Open Source App Server April, 2003.

• “"Open source tends to work well when the technology is relatively straightforward and simple," says Mark Driver, research analyst at Gartner Group. Case in point: Apache dominates the Web server market because the relevant standards are so well-established that commercial vendors can no longer differentiate their products profitably. As the J2EE standard matures, Driver sees a similar shift happening in the application server market.” CIO Magazine April 15, 2003

• “We attended the 2nd Annual JBoss Developer’s Conference. According to customers who presented, it appears that most switched from BEA to JBoss with a few displacing IBM. Surprisingly, better support was cited as the main reason for switching, as several customers expressed their satisfaction with the support from the JBoss Group. Cost ranked as the second highest reason for switching.” Bank of American Securities, Robert Stimson, June 19, 2003

• JBoss: Causing a Stir in the Application Server Market. JBoss is now entering the mainstream and shown by the signing of an OEM contract with webMethods. This may be the start of a shower of similar arrangements, where J2EE application and integration vendors choose to bundle the free JBoss product in preference to high priced alternatives. – Ovum July 2003
