The other thing is as it was pointed out, that you do not need an ejb3
app server for it, there is an embedded version. Although startup times
are somewhat painful (I too get a 20 seconds startup time, compared to
10 secs in a plain jsf version, but given the fact that spring+hibernate
gives me in this combination similar startup times, it is bearable)
