Maybe you should spend some time researching how many EJB containers are already out 
there and
the growth rate!!

It has nothing to do with me offering an EJB container. I don't wite EJB containers 
anymore,
but the fact that the J2EE-RI is open source means that their is a good chance that 
others
will not follow the licensing agreement.

It's not about wondering it's about facts. What are the new features in detail? How 
about some
bullets!!!

But that's true about most of the containers out there. They really don't scale very 
well,
don't offer real CMP, no IDEs, etc. It's not a good idea to pretend that the EJB 
containers
don't have problems.

Writing a thread pool is not that difficult if you know how to program. When something 
is open
source you can make it scale if your a professional!!!!

OK so why not just list the additional features that you find so interesting!

And what's that supposed to mean.
