Some of the major areas addressed by this draft include: * the integration of EJB with the Java Message Service, and the introduction of message-driven beans * improved support for container-managed persistence and container- managed relationships among entity beans and between entity beans and dependent objects * the introduction of an architecture to support pluggable persistence managers for the management of the persistence of entity beans and their relationships * EQL QL, a query language for the specification of finder methods for entity beans with container-managed persistence * select methods, query methods for the internal use of entity beans with container-managed persistence * home business methods--additional methods on the home interface of entity beans to implement busines logic that is independent of a specific bean instance * a runAs security identity functionality to provide a specification of the principal to be used for the runAs identity of an enterprise bean in terms of its security role * an interoperability protocol based on CORBA/IIOP to allow invocations on session and entity beans from J2EE components that are deployed in containers from different vendors Feedback on this draft can be sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For those of you who are attending JavaOne, our EJB 2.0 architecture team (Umit Yalcinalp, Sanjeev Krishnan, and myself) has the following activities scheduled around Enterprise JavaBeans 2.0 which may be of interest: Technical Session 1032, Enterprise JavaBeans 2.0 Technology: Overview of Architecture.
