For a more meaningful comparison, you could compare zope to J2EE, which provides for concepts of object-relational mapping, persistence, etc. The open source J2EE server is jboss.
You're right.
I'm checking out www.jboss.org They have claims like "JBOSS #1 AMONG OPEN SOURCE APPLICATION SERVERS"
"4000 DOWNLOADS PER DAY, JBOSS SETS NEW RECORD" (anyone knows about zope download statistics? is ZC reading this?)
seems pretty nice. Damn, now I have to spend the whole day installing stuff and reading docs ;-)
You can look at the statistics of zope.org at http://ns1.zope.org:82/ There you'll find some data for instance under "top urls by kbytes": 8912 /Products/Zope/2.4.3/Zope-2.4.3-win32-x86.exe 3228 /Products/Zope/2.4.3/Zope-2.4.3-linux2-x86.tgz 976 /Products/Zope/2.4.1/Zope-2.4.1-linux2-x86.tgz 983 /Products/Zope/2.5.0b3/Zope-2.5.0b3-win32-x86.exe 795 /Products/Zope/2.4.1/Zope-2.4.1-win32-x86.exe 753 /Products/Zope/2.5.0b4/Zope-2.5.0b4-win32-x86.exe 1213 /Products/Zope/2.4.3/Zope-2.4.3-src.tgz 543 /Products/Zope/2.5.0b3/Zope-2.5.0b3-linux2-x86.tgz makes 17403 downloads in 16 days =~ 1100 downloads per day for a time which includes a quite inactive period (beginning of the year). And there are more versions of zope downloadable than this statistic tells us. Nonetheless, I heard that jboss is quite a competitive product in the J2EE scene, regardless of it's price. cheers, oliver
