Most "freeware" or open-source EJB products that I have seen, either lack
support for Entity beans, Container Managed Persistence, transactions or
some
combination. Right now, I would say that JOnAS is the most complete in terms
of features. Almost all are unusually poorly documented and many don't even
have example source.
Remember: OpenSource does *not* always mean *free*. Be sure to read the
deployment license.
I apologise if I get the eval/license incorrect. If I couldn't find out how
to get an eval, or if it required contacting a sales rep, I indicated "no
eval". Below is a list of the EJB containers that I know about:
AnEJB (freeware)
http://dog.exoffice.com/Projects/AnEJB/anejb.html
