In JBoss, here’s how I deploy my application:

cp MyWebsite.ear $JBOSS_HOME/server/default/deploy

And to shut it off?

rm $JBOSS_HOME/server/default/deploy/MyWebsite.ear

So Websphere. I use the admin console to remove an application. It hangs. I am forced to restart the service. Now I get errors like:

Application already exists in the configuration repository.

My “Enterprise Applications” menu is empty!

And I’ve lost two hours of work simply because I was forced to restart the JVM.

WebSphere is abysmal!
