Hi,

I have'nt used JBoss before. But I am counter proposing JBoss 4.x for a portal on 'Staffing Services'. Earlier the architecture team had evaluated Weblogic8.1. This is because I am pretty sure JBoss 4.x has evovled enough to accomodate our requirements [since it makes use of Tomcat 5.x ].

Our portal may have at the most 500 users at any time and the longest transaction would take around 15 minutes. Session timeout would be fixed at [say] 3 minutes.

Can JBoss handle this load ?. My Senior architect is OK with Open source software but not yet convinced with its Scalability/Concurrancy.

Therefore Experts here, kindly let me know if there is any issues in this regard?.

Thanks & Regards

T.Venkatesh

Wow, using JBoss portal for something heavily used? That is what I call optimism. :-)

If you asking "can the JBoss 4 **APPSERVER** scale", the answer is yes if you wrote your application to scale. In other words, JBoss thankfully doesn't stop you from having a scalable application. That doesn't mean the developer actually wrote and configured an application to be scalable.

Last time I tried the portal app was about 4 months ago, and frankly I couldn't imagine having 500 users on it. I found it sluggish and fragile, even with just lil' ol' me on it. Things may have changed, definitely, but you'll need to do your own testing to be sure.
