I find it fairly presumptuous and vaguely insulting to equate the use of
vendor-specific features with poor application design. I'm not sure about
the state of the art now, but not that long ago application servers like
ATG Dynamo had a wealth of features unavailable in free software that made
the loss of portability quite worthwhile.

the original question was not "Which application server should I use?",
but "Has anyone tried Weblogic on FreeBSD?". criticizing choices without
context or background doesn't answer either question.
