Roller sucks because...

Comments[1] by Dave in Roller

Vinny thinks Roller sucks because it doesn't support Weblogic and Oracle. I posted this response in the comments of his blog:

Roller is not a commercial product with a revenue stream, so it’s difficult to justify the added expense of supporting lots of application servers and databases.

As you said, Roller uses Hibernate and should therefore work with any JDBC capable database, but somebody has to write the installation guides and answer the tech support database questions for each platform — if you’d like to volunteer to do that for Weblogic/Oracle, we’d love it!

And, if you do get Roller working on Weblogic and Oracle please submut patches to the dev-list so that others don’t have to suffer through the porting process too.
