EJB 3.1 Public Draft Now Available
Webinar Reminder - Ken will present on this topic today (Thursday) at 11:15 am Pacific Time in the GlassFish Online Webinar.
|
The JSR-318 EG has released the Public Draft of EJB 3.1 (Download). Ken (the EG lead) is soliciting feedback by email or directly in his blog. Ken will continue to providing highlights of the new features through his blog, a practice he started after the first Early Draft ([1], [2], [3], [4]). His latest entry is Guide to the EJB 3.1 Public Draft. Maybe Mr. EJB, like Mark Twain, will be able to say: "The report of my death was an exaggeration" |

Ken says the EG has a new draft almost ready, hopefully he will be able to cover it. |

... Saving Money with JavaCAPS, From NB to GF, Mural Tutorial, EJB Performance
A compilation of today's news of interest:
|
|
From Kevin and Mark - The recent Price Increate on Oracle Fusion has lead to a new conversion offer for Java CAPS (our SOA product built on GlassFish Server and OpenESB). Check Kevin's and OnTheRecord, these videos (beware! auto-run) and InfoWorld and TheRegister. Alexis noticed a common thread in several comments in the USER alias for GlassFish Server and explains How Configuration on NetBeans may differ from that of your deployment GlassFish Server; and what to do about it. Thanks to Swen-Helge for a pointer to this Mural/MDM tutorial. From Adam a report on Informal Performance of Remote EJB. Adam has a number of entries at his blog arguing for EJB 3(.x) as lightweight component. |
EJB3 showing strong adoption in Germany
|
Adam Bien reports on very nice EJB3 adoption numbers as reported by a German IT magazine survey. The choices given to participants seem quite fair and give the survey some credit IMO. I wonder how much impact Adam's consulting work and blogging has had on the result! It would been nice to be able to compare these numbers over time (say with 1 or 2 years ago). |
EJB 3 was a huge step in the right direction and EJB 3.1 (part of the upcoming Java EE 6) is looking at many improvements such as simplified packaging, read-only beans, singletons, and more. You can start testing some of those new features in GlassFish v3 builds (use Tech Preview 2 for instance) and getting the EJB 3.1 preview container from the update center (bin/updatetool).

Embedded EJBs!
|
|
One of the uses of an API for an embeddable container is testing, and experience shows this can have a huge impact on the development speed, so I'm very pleased to report progress on this from the JSR 318 EG, led by Ken. The proposed API provides for creation / releasing of the container as in:
EJBContainer ejbC = EJBContainer.createEJBContainer();
Ken's Intro Note also hints at more details from further blogs (a portable global JNDI name, for example), so stay tuned. |
More evidence that the EJB 3.1 Expert Group is keeping a very customer-focused perspective on the
evolution of the spec.
Hats off to them!

Learning EJB3 - For Beginners and Advanced Users
|
Here are wwo ways to get into EJB 3.x. For the complete beginner, Adam has a EJB 3.0 in 5 minutes. And for the advanced user, PACKT Books just published Michael Sikora's EJB 3 Developer Guide home page, TOC, Amazon). Both use the GlassFish Server For a while I thought that EJBs were always going to be - or be perceived as - "too (conceptual) heavy"; maybe EJB 3.1 and EJB3.1 lite will actually change this.
