That is my understanding as well. It is left open, for vendors to compete over customers. > 2.

Don't know that either, I am not a fan of J2EE at all and wouldn't touch it again with gloves on :o) > 4. What (if any) is Avalon's approach to clustering?

Merlin is not some 'J2EE adapter', it is not J2EE server, or in any other way related to the J2EE spec (unlike JBoss and Geronimo). So, I have problem to see how your request could be related to Merlin. Some efforts may be spent in the future to implement select parts of the J2EE specs into Merlin, probably in the form of a pluggable facility, but it will never become an EJB server.
