[ajug-members] SpringSource App Server

[Travis Bailey]

Personally, I am excited about Spring doing an App Server implementation because I like Spring code in general. (everything but Web Flow so far)
I am disillusioned because they are releasing it under the GPL v3 which discourages me from wanting to use it.

Regardless it will probably be useful for the community to see how they implemented OSGi with Equinoxe...
And I will hopefully do a test implementation sometime, but that will be more a matter of happenstance at this time.

 
Meh.  My few cents.

I'm hoping this topic gets tons of passionate responses, well, perhaps not as many as WiPro (or whatever they are called) setting up shop in Atlanta and all of us about to get a pay cut. :-)

What is your level of excitement or disillusionment with the SpringSource Application Platform?
http://www.springsource.com/web/guest/products/suite/applicationplatform
On a scale of 1 to 5 where 
1 = I hate it, it is the dumbest idea I ever heard of, the big vendors will teach the upstarts a lesson and kill them
5 = I love it, it is brilliant, where can I buy stock in SpringSource, this will make them rich

The TSS.com crowd has had a lot to say about this product offering and strategy move by SpringSource.  What do the real people doing real work, the folks in Atlanta, think about this?
