Just wondering if anybody knows whether SJSAS Standard Edition is available free-of-charge as part of Java Enterprise System.
The Web Infrastructure suite lists it as being bundled, but when you actually go to download it, it turns out that the Enterprise Edition comes instead.
http://www.sun.com/software/javaenterprisesystem/web_infrastructure_suite/index .xml
Standard Edition and Enterprise Edition are actually identical set of bits in 8.x release - the only difference between the two is that if you have Enterprise Edition license you are allowed to configure the server to use HADB database as session store.
Since web infrastructure suite does not contain HADB component, Application Server bundled in it is implicitly Standard Edition in spite of the fact that you get Enterprise Edition if you run 'asadmin version' command.
Hope this makes sense and I certainly agree it is confusing :-)
Interesting...
I'm still dubious (sorry). Just surprises me because it completely looks like it's the EE not the SE - even the installer refers to it as "Enterprise Edition"..
Does this mean that Sun aren't even branding the SE as SE?
It doesn't bother me too much other than trying to sell it to our clients who may not be quite so understanding.
But thanks for your info.
