Simon, An Oracle manager told me last November that they wouldn't have ejb-ql until the summer, but Oracle is saying this is out in the _latest_ jdeveloper version. Getting a handle on which version is actually released by Oracle and which is "early access" is a bit dodgy. IIOP is also supposed to be in the latest "early access" version of Oracle.
The other vendors play similar games, as I don't believe weblogic 7.0 is yet _released_. Ironflare is much more clear on this point, since Ironflare's website clearly indicates that 1.5.2 only meets ejb 1.1 with some support for ejb 2.0 public draft (this is ancient in j2ee time, since the pd was out _two_ years ago), and the changes.txt of the 1.5.4 experimental version indicates conformance with "features" of ejb 2.0, but does not mention total compatibility with ejb 2.0. If you have a test ejb with ejb-ql (say from Ed Roman's book), why don't you test it out in this latest version from Oracle oc4j or 1.5.4. It may work. regards, the elephantwalker -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Simon Stewart Sent: Wednesday, March 27, 2002 9:20 AM To: Orion-Interest Subject: Re: Orion EJB 2.0 final Apologies, I probably didn't make myself sufficiently clear. With EJB 2.0, aren't finder queries meant to be specified in the ejb-jar.xml file using EJB-QL? Consequently, Orions's lack of support for EJB-QL means that it's currently not possible to write portable CMP EJBs. Yes, I realise that you can get the orion-ejb-jar.xml file and edit the finders in that, but one of the touted benefits of the latest release of J2EE is that CMP is now a lot more portable between app servers, and doing that destroys this benefit. Or have I missed something? Still finding my feet with J2EE programming, so if anyone wants to set me straight, I'd appreciate it.
