Cedric weighs in on Joe's editorial. Cedric believes that we are already seeing "components" just not in the form which we exepected. I think we are seeing services but not components. A service is provided by a container whereas a component is code which can stand alone. There is probably a better way of defining it but that is all I can come up with for now.
Anyhow, I would like to point out one thing for Cedric:
Those of you who are aware of FreeRoller already know about this. FreeRoller still has massive scalability problems and the hardware and the bandwidth can no longer be the culprit. This leaves two possibilities:
Hibernate and/or Roller need to be optimized.
Hibernate and/or Roller have a fundamental design flaw that prevents them from scaling.
A few very good developers (including Gavin) have been investigating this issue but so far, the results were inconclusive and FreeRoller is still showing dire scalability problems.
Actually, there is a third and a fourth possibility:
Tomcat
MySQL
Personally I am leaning towards MySQL as the problem because it really hasn't been tuned appropriately.
