> because they become less popular In your opinion. If anything, since EJB/CMP/CMR 2.0, my observation from existing and prospective customers has been that interest in Entity EJBs has increased. I'm on a project right now where before I got there, the effort was already begun to replace Castor JDO (deployed in '00/'01) with Entity EJBs. And the biggest reasons for that were 2.0's major improvements and a fine tool called XDoclet that made and still makes Entity EJB development a breeze. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Konstantin Priblouda Sent: Wednesday, March 17, 2004 3:28 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [Xdoclet-user] EJB 2.1 support in XDoclet 2? > > > > Maybe the developers have all moved on to > something cooler, but the > > users haven't, and many have no intention of doing > so.

But entity bean support suffers because they become less popular. In 2001 there were not so many alternatives, but now with hibernate you get better OR mapping than suns specification - there are just more features and you do not need to play around with value objects or whatever. You can do unit tests outside of application server, reuse same classes on client side etc. - a lot of advantages. ( and hibernate is als under jboss hood, so guess what persistence engine will be used in jboss... ) And as stated proviously ejb 2.1 is pretty new. regards, ===== ----[ Konstantin Pribluda ( ko5tik ) ]---------------- Zu Verstdrkung meines Teams suche ich ab Sofort einen Softwareentwickler[In] f|r die Festanstellung.
