Bill, you write in your mail "Is 4.0 new or evolution of 3.2?":
"In 4.0, we want to generalize interceptor technology and detached invocations so that any type of object or any plain old Java Class can leverage these technologies. We want to bring J2EE services transparently and implicitly to plain old java objects and classes and truly isolate business logic from infrastructure." True, this sounds extremely cool, but what about J2EE portability? By introducing your new concepts, you're contributing to making J2EE portability even more of a myth, or aren't you? OK, if I will only and forever use JBoss it will certainly be awesome to use POJO's having the same capabilities as, for instance, EJB 2.x CMP entity beans w/o having all that entity bean overhead (extra interfaces and so on). But if I want to keep my app portable - regarding providing persistence - I would rather look at JDO and other commercial or open source O/R mappers than using the then proprietary JBoss AOP solution. Or are there plans to make this, for example, JDO-like? Will it also be possible to use a POJO as a session bean which has the same capabilities? If so, will it be possible to automatically convert this "Session POJO" to a standard EJB Session Bean or will this again be proprietary - so to speak, neat, if I'm gonna use JBoss forever, but otherwise unusable in other appservers. I'm just afraid of pushing JBoss into a niche where it doesn't belong, by promoting to use POJOs behaving like EJBs when using JBoss, however resulting in a non-portable solution. What are your thoughs, JBoss team? Anyway, general architecture sounds real interesting and I would love pointers to whitepapers and docs about the upcoming release, if available.
