I'll suggest another reason to use jBoss right now. With an inexpensive
add-in (check out http://www.mvcsoft.com), you can start codeing in EJB 2.0
PFD. Yes, the spec will change before it is final, but most of it won't
change. EJB 2.0 greatly enhances the portability of your application over
EJB 1.1 BMP (and for any fancy relationships, you need BMP in EJB 1.1). And
you'll have a nice jump on the competition, since you'll be starting with
the superior technology they will have to transition to (both jBoss and EJB
are superior technology).
So start using EJB 2.0 now, and by the time your ready for deployment you
can either deploy in jBoss if your testing shows it meets your needs or
else go to a commercial EJB 2.0 server (hopefully several will be available
shortly after the spec goes final).
I am doing this and having great luck.
My oher favorite feature of jBoss is the hot deployment of code. Where I
work, we are using ATG Dynamo. Our IS department has told me that anytime
we want to redeploy code, we have to stop and restart the servers, which
screws up the cache and harms our sites performance. If this is true, its
pretty poor for a commercial app server. jBoss dossen't have this problem.
