This question did occur to me, and Socrates would have a field day with it.
Since this list has everyone from visitors, EJB beginners, EJB server
builders, and anyone in between, what is a relavent question? More
importantly, what is a relavent answer? To me, any question related to
Orion or EJB is relavent. Now there are various positions on giving
answers. Some may say to read the EJB specs Sun put out for answers.
Others will say to read the books on EJB. Some would say to use the search
engines. Still others, like myself, will give answers if we know it. Why do
we do this? To add more EJB folks to the fold, and because we enjoy doing
it. Now I can get off on a tangent sometimes, and there are times that is
good, like trying to present some ideas to help Orion become more popular.
And yes, I also like open source, if it is good or has potential. I run
Apache in production, but I also run Oracle. To zip or not to zip, that is
the question? And many kind folks answered that question. And I, in turn
may someday answer that question.
So what is an irrelavent question?
In all the 190 Stooge shorts, how many contained pie fights? Five
How does the Dali Lama start his day? He meditates for two hours before
listening to the BBC.
Why were people called Mat Hatters in Alice In Wonderland? Because they
made hats using mercury and the fumes drived them made.
Who are my EJB heroes? The folks at Orion, Jboss, and Enhydra, because
they are making affordable EJB servers to make this technology available to
everyone.
Why does Einstein not know his phone number? Because he thought it was
irrelavent information and could look it up in the phone book.
