I tell you what, I hated EJB 1.1. Even before I knew about hibernate, I still hated the duplication that was necessary to actually do something. Creating the home interface, the remote interface even before you got to the bean itself. And then duplicate everything in the deployment descriptor. Se

Unless maybe it is talking about binary arithmetic and different kinds of logical operations and other stuff which doesn't age so readily. I am not sure if there are podcasts about that though. I seem to have visions of the Monty Python argument sketch in my head for some reason. On Jan 19, 5:32

5 years is eternity in this world. It was called J2EE back then. Look at Java EE 6 and make up your mind. Some did : http://blogs.sun.com/stories/entry/mollom Like anything else, don't expect it to be the solution to every problem you face. -Alexis On 19 janv. 2011, at 18:29, Blanford wrote: >

Does everyone hate EJB or at least the silent majority? If so I would be interested in learning why. I hear a lot of bad-mouthing of EJB but often without explanation of the reason. Is it seen as just too complex? As regards not using EJB but using web services, this does't seem like an either or.

That seems a rather sweeping assertion. There are a lot of people who use JavaEE. I have worked for a company that used EJB in ernest. Some of the Spring crowd seem to make out that no-one uses EJB and everyone uses Spring. Even when other frameworks are, all the ones I am aware of run on top of Ja
