Go buy some stock? The evidence is coming together in some interesting ways…. and if Sun’s Java Enterprise System app server has momentum, anything can happen.

[Richard Monson-Haefel](http://rmh.blogs.com/weblog/2006/05/bz_research_on_.html) points to [BZ Research](http://www.bzmedia.com/bzresearch/index.html) market share numbers.

- 37.2% – IBM Web Sphere
- 37.0% – JBoss Application Server
- 27/2% – BEA WebLogic
- 27.2% – Oracle 8iAS, 9iAS, 10gAS
- 19.7% – Sun Java Enterprise System

Very nice data point for Sun to use in pointing to uptick at Java One next week. +6% in a year is none too shabby for an "also ran" app server. All that said, the Oracle numbers confuse me a bit – why are they munged together like that?
