Hmmm,
Looks like other J2EE servers, ie iPlanet, can deploy the JPS. Hopefully
Orion will be able to claim the same soon.

Hi Neville,
Many thanks to the Orion team for the bug reports. We will integrate
these bug fixes in a future release of Java Pet Store Demo.
As the app-server become J2EE complaint, most of these problems will go
away. This is already happening, for example, iPlanet' latest release
runs JPS without any problems.
thanks
inder, J2EE Blueprints
