If "App Servers = J2EE Containers" then yep, the guy is right on. In fact, I have come to the conclusion the EJB are essentially an extension of the "Axis of Evil" (which apparently Bush has overlooked so far...)

I don't see how you could function without some sort of servlet or CGI application behind a web server though. All of the technologies the Yakov mentions would probably sit behind a web server of some kind. Most of what he mentioned I pulled together in the "Developing SOA Applications using Open Source Tools" at Common last month (you can find it at www.opensource4iseries.com if you are interested). Specifically the ActiveMQ/MOM/JMS stuff with Derby (JDBC) and a few other technologies (like Axis).

I still don't see that combination being easy to implement but leaving a J2EE container out of the mix makes life simpler. My clue that EJB's were evil was when I walked through the JMS tutorial and saw a 15 line Java program (easy to follow) followed by 15 deployment steps that deployed the class to the server. Made the racing guide gag in the Marx Brothers film "A Day at the Races" look simple.

Interesting article if you haven't seen it.

But then I'm biased because I've always felt that App Servers are total
overkill for small and medium load systems.
