Hi Ray. The only vendors I know of who have EJB 2 implementations are Orion
and WebLogic.
I definitely prefer Orion's development environment, but there is no
comparison in terms of support (and I mean free support; WebLogic staff
developers routinely answer newsgroup questions and once, in response to a
bug I submitted concerning compound primary keys, a WL developer not only
identified himself as the one working on the problem, but asked me if I
thought his proposed solution was acceptable. Wow.)
