Hi Mark, If you're using inheritance a lot in your design, you might be interested in JDO which seems to have better support for it than CMP 2.x.
Alex Loubyansky has made some headway on a JBoss JDO project which uses the new AOP features in JBoss 4.0. For me this is a very interesting development.
