Is the source code for the beans you did eventually get to work across
different vendors available, as well as the DDs? I saw the "deployathon"
demo, and I must admit I was quite sceptical about what EJB features were
actually being exercised. I imiagine its quite possible to make a simple
beans that works across all sorts of different servers, but can you make a
non-trivial one? I'm still reserving judgement until I see the source and a
bit more description of the beans that were used.
