I haven't been following this thread very closely, but the part about these services being a "good thing" caught my attention... hopefully, I haven't repeated what someone else has all ready posted. I am of the understanding that using the built-in security, triggers, stored procedures, etc. of relational databases IS NOT a good thing. Implementing these services in the database kills the scalability of the application. I'm just now starting to dive into J2EE development, so I am by no means an expert on enterprise development. But, my understanding is the primary reason for using an App Server such as WebSphere is to provide an implementation for these services in a way that can be distributed across as many servers as necessary to improve scalability and performance.
