Well, I have installed 3, and ordered the 2.4 book, so don't blame me when I

With JB6EE you can add/remove bean methods at will (to 
the implementation class source) and *JBuilder*  keeps interfaces, 
etc in synch for you. Rename the method, add parms, etc, and the changes are 
reflected as well. It also gives you a property editor for beans (like for 
whether to generate local and/or remote interfaces) and methods. Halfway 
decent Entity bean generator too. The Open Tool is not necessary for any of 
this functionality.

2002-04-16 Thread David Jencks

Big additions to 3 from 2.4 (I may forget something...)

-cmp2
-clustering
-more flexible deployment and classloading system

Maybe not so big additions:
-web service support
-corba support
-improved jca and database connectivity support.

Of these the big reason to look at 3 first is perhaps the cmp2 support. 
cmp1 tends to make it look like you can only see one db row at a time, cmp2
gives you "detail table" views of stuff.

If you want to look at the source code and compile it yourself I highly
recommend 3.  I can't figure out how to compile 2.4 any longer;-)

As for the book/ JBoss 3 race... we're trying, bad marketing or no;-)

yep, fair call.

JBoss 2.4 supports (as I understand it)
 - EJB 1.1 (SLSB, SFSB, CMP 1.x, BMP)
 - some of EJB 2.0 (MDB, local interfaces)

JBoss 3.0 adds
 - the rest of EJB 2.0 (mainly CMP2)

I'm sure there are more differences, but thats the key differences I think.

inside, but as a result the configuration has changed.  In 2.4 you have jboss.jcml 
which defines the services.  In 3.0 you have a
deploy directory that contains a whole bunch of foo-service.xml files, which each 
contain configuration for the foo service.

from a developer's viewpoint, you will code pretty similar stuff, as either way, 
you're coding EJBs.  Of course there are changes
between the 1.1 and 2.0 specs, but you can deploy 1.1 EJBs on a 2.0 server, so dont be 
too worried.

Again - the main difference is in CMP2 and relationships.  Admitably, this is a big 
difference, but I'd advice getting your head
around other things first anyway.

Also - have a look at XDoclet (http://sf.net/projects/xdoclet) as a useful development 
tool that has strong support for JBoss.

I am more concernern with documentation etc., which is very important when 
you are getting into something new.  The 'book'  is for 2.4, yet a lot of the

This is what I currently favour, but it would be good to know the differences 
between 2 and 3.  I can't belive they are two great, especially as the 2.4 
'book' is not published here in the UK for another few weeks, and it would be 
a bad marketing effort to release a new, incompatible version before the book 
for the previous version is out.

Hi Phil,

Are you entering the world of JBoss from another EJB server, or fresh?  If you're 
entering fresh, and learning EJB, then I dont
imagine the differences between 2.4 and 3.0 would bother you too much at first (ie, 
just use 2.4 and get your head around that).
However if you really want to get into advanced features, then I suppose that would be 
an argument for 3.0.  As I understand it,
everything in 2.4 is also in 3.0, but there've been several significant architecture 
changes.

also - the book covers 2.4, which would be a good argument for starting there.
