Manageability quoting Rod Johnson

Manageability – Rod Johnson on J2EE Without EJB:
An interesting listing of EJB offerings and their utility:

• Declarative Transactions: Good but not always appropiate.
• Remoting: Best choice today for remoting.
• Clustering:Entity and SFSB have weak implementations.SLSB clustering isn’t rocket science. Clustering more important on the web and database tier.
• Thread Management:Locking entire bean instances is naive. Multi-threaded services without read/write instance variables make better sense (i.e. Servlets).
• Instance Pooling:Doesn’t make sense with today’s more modern garbage collectors.
• Resource Management:Not truly tied to the EJB container.
• Security:Security requirements tend to be more complex than what EJB role-based security provides.
• Business Object Management Use of JNDI unnecessarily complex.

NoCo first version

A short update on the previous post. I have already finished the first version of the CoNo plugin extension. I have name it NoCo :-). I intend to send it to the initial authors – in case they are still interested in it (they are not active for the last 2 years, but who knows). Otherwise I will try to find a solution to post it somewhere.
I will come back with the features description of the current version.
