I am happy to see the great endorsement of Jboss, and I agree 100% with it.
Enhydra Enterprise is in beta testing right now, and my personal experience
with it is it's kind of buggy. I am sure with time, they will iron things
out, but I prefer the Jboss project any day.

RE: [JBoss-user] noviceWell, Paul. It's good that you've come to the =
open source EJB platforms. Regarding JBoss, Marc Fleury and Rickard =
Oberg are INCREDIBLY active developers, and are leading the charge for =
EJB engines. We have found that JBoss is getting faster, easier to use, =
and much more solid with every release. They release to new =
specifications in a VERY timely fashin, so you'll be on bleeding edge =
with JBoss, (and in the world of EJB that can save WEEKS of headaches). =
I'm not sure what the deal was with Enhydra, but JBoss comes optionally =
packaged and configured to run Jakarta-Tomcat, Sun Microsystems =
implemetation of the Java Servlet 2.2 specification (so you know that =
when the servlet spec changes, you'll get support from the JBoss crew). =
Also, the user groups are very good, and since it's open source, you can =
just download the source code to figure out why the heck your JDBC Realm =
object isn't working the way it should.
All in all, I've found that using JBoss with the myriad of useful tools =
in the Jakarta project (Ant, Struts, Tomcat, Xerces, Junit) is a very =
good way to remain on the ball, up to date, in the know, and as close to =
the Sun as possible during development.
I hope this helps.
If I recall, we looked at Enhydra before we settled on JBoss. (back when =
they were still EJBoss...) The CTO decided on JBoss (can't tell you his =
reasoning, but it's been working very well for us, and a little peer =
pressure never hurt anyone)
Hope this helps.
