Erik,
I think that EJB products have taken some time to mature, and that a certain
amount of patience with the vendors in terms of quality of implementation
will pay off handsomely.
For example, many folks say entity beans don't scale and that you should use
more 'lightweight' alternatives. Those folks could be broken down into a few
groups.
(1) End-users who are having problems their app. server doesn't scale well
for entity beans. Patience is all I can recommend here (or go with
whatever viable alternatives currently exist if you can't wait).
(2) Vendors who are trying to push proprietary alternatives because they
can't see how (or can't be bothered) to make entity beans scale.
(3) Vendors of add-on products who can sell more product by throwing FUD
at entity beans.
I think that you will see with the latest round of product releases from
all vendors concerned that EJB 2.0 has allowed for vendors to make great
improvements in some of the difficult areas (entity bean object caching
would be a prime example).
