Hi, of course this depends on the situation. And "does work" includes,
cost effective, low complexity, low bandwith etc. always
total-cost-of-ownership.

WebLogic IIRC is an application server? That's just a technical part. I'm
taling about solutions, like PPS Systems, document management etc. Most
solutions I have seen didn't hold for a TCO analysis and had a way to high
complexity.
But I'm sure there are stories, where people are happy with their
solution... it's always a question to what you compare ;-)
