Weblogic Server Lives on in many forms...

Despite us being in a financial crisis, many older versions of weblogic continue to run successfully in many companies.

These include bea weblogic server 8.1 sp6
bea weblogic server 7.0
bea weblogic server 6.0
bea weblogic server 5.1

Old software often has end of life associated with it but many people continue to run older versions out of lifetime.
Knowing its nuances and after running with it for a teething period, this tends to work well once the application is mature
and stable and there is little to no reason or budget to move over to a newer version.

Newer versions can bring more features but at the same time more complexity , why re-invent the wheel when a older
simpler system works for your requirement.

Of course if you want to be on leading edge then you will go for oracle fusion middleware.
And if you want to be as near to leading edge but on a budget the choice is glassfish.
