Hi Paul, I think that link you found on Jira may be a little premature or be referring to a DR, but I am following up.
I would recommend that you go with 4.0.4, but select the ejb3 profile when using the installer. This will give you forward and backwards compatability between the 2.x and 3.0 EJB specs. This version of JBoss is also well tried and tested and is recommended for production. Application Servers get Sun certified against released of J2EE. JBoss 4.0.4 out-the-box is 1.4 certified. J2EE 1.5 is not final yet, so no-one can be certified for it. JBoss is part of all the JSR groups and was the first app server to be 1.4 compliant, so I do not anticipate any issues with compliance once the spec is release. I would not recomment use of JBoss 5.0 in production merely because I am not aware of anyone who is using it production. I will let you know what my digging finds regarding the announcement you found. When will your upgrade go live?
