I can't speak intelligently to container managed entity beans, but
I believe they are supported. Connection pooling is a work in process -
it is available but not integrated or well tested. Both features will be
in the final 2.0 release. There is no specific database requirement,
though jBoss ships with the Hypersonic database. I am testing with
Oracle, and others have mentioned MS SQL Server, at a minimum.
In general, you will face two issues with different database
products. One is that you may need to alter the data type mappings from
your database data types to Java data types for the Container Managed
Persistance to work well - though we may eventually provide mapping files
for a variety of databases. Another is that your database needs to
support transactions (commit/rollback), which rules out some like MySQL.
To *really* do things right the JDBC drivers need to support the JDBC 2.0
standard extension, but that is currently rare and generally not well
implemented.
