Great comparation.
I tried BlazeDS, but I saw it doesn’t handle Lazy. Now I’m trying GraniteDS but I can’t run it..so, maybe I’ll try WebOrb.

Hi Artem,
Can you post the chart I have on my blog? The chart you have above doesn’t line up the x’s in the correct place so it looks like WebORB supports very little when in fact it is probably the most robust of the bunch. You can see my chart here: http://mcoderkat.wordpress.com/2009/02/08/weborb-for-java-vs-blazeds-vs-lcds/ I might add that we do offer WebORB on a perpetual license basis (not reflected in the chart). Also, we decided to put AppPuncher in the Cloud, so our cloud-based version for stress testing is nearly ready for launch. Interested parties can go to http://www.cloudpuncher.com to register as a beta tester.
Thanks for posting this comparison Artem.
Cheers,
Kathleen

Brief description about the feature in another column and capturing the comparison into a HTML table or something will make it more friendly.
