Why Oracle's Middleware sucks...

"for a large company like Oracle, if your products are good, they can’t be great because there’s more risk in being great."

Does this tell us why, seeing their middleware products are poor, they daren't be mediocre? I can feel an award coming on.

Update. For what its worth, and in the interest of not appearing to just be a loud mouthed asshole, this comment on TSS reflects some pretty commonly held opinions of Oracle's J2EE container OC4J, and for those of you who haven't had the dubious pleasure of working with OC4J you should know that those of us who have consider that 10.1.2 is significantly better than 9.0.4 which itself was a huge improvement over the woeful 9.0.3, and 9.0.2 was just a joke. Little wonder then that the big O don't have many fans in Java-land.

I remember when I had to work with Oracle Portal 4 or 5 years ago. Man, THAT was a true "adventure". Of course it ran on 9i and OC4J. Since then, when I see Java code from Oracle I just do the one right thing: run.
