Apparently IBM are going to be flogging this instead of Websphere for SMB (Small to Medium-sized Businesses).
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2005/08/09/ibm_gluecode/
The logic behind this is that SMBs don't need a full-blown Websphere implementation - but they are given this anyway, at a hugely discounted price. Therefore just selling them what they need should be more efficient.
So, is GlueGode some sort of app server? I hear the buzzword JBoss associated with it, and it's open source. Apart from that, what else does it do? |

The register article you posted says "Geronimo is the open source foundation to Gluecode."
Geronimo is the Apache Foundation's J2EE container...
So, yes, this is a "lightweight" J2EE app server.

I guess it is IBM's low end answer to J2EE app servers
just like they did with databases when they bought Cloudscape
I don't know where this is going, but maybe they see a market on the low end using open source and then provide tools and migration paths when the "business" out grows the solution. ?

I think this is probably what's going on. I know that the few SMB customers I've worked with haven't wanted all of the features built into even WAS Express - and certainly didn't want to pay ongoing license fees - when the opensource solutions were very close to what they needed.
Plus, opensource neatly allows you to tie yourself to a technology without tying yourself to a sole supplier, like most COTS does.
