JAAS can either br crudely bolted on now (not recommended), or we can take the 
pace and get it right.

We won't implement such a thing.
Unfortunately I don't know enough of JCA to know what the Resource Adapter 
mean. I assume it is the plugin that is required to access a DB or some other 
legacy resource. If so, what does this really mean, that they can access 
EJBs? Would they create them on the fly, or is it for their own internal use?

JMS is plain simple. Message-driven architecture. Basically a notifier method 
for incoming mail, and reasonably easy ways to create responses.

It should work without problem. Facilities are basically ordinary components, 
so I presume that dependency resolution works fairly staright forward, and 
one facility can depend on another...

I wish I could help out, but right now I am well over my head already.
