Marc Fleury said the following in an interview at InfoWorld:
When is EJB 3.0 due out and whats that going to feature?
Fleury: The 3.0 draft is out now [but it is] still private. Well announce at JavaOne [in late-June], preannounce at TheServerSide conference [next week]. And what we deal with is simply finding the programming model. And so whereas today its fairly complex for a developer to code an EJB, we go with a plain old Java object model, we use the query language thats an extension of EJBQL, very much like Hibernate. And thats it, so [were] simply finding the programming model, enhancing the [query] language and persistence capabilities and at the end of the day. It will be very transparent, plain old Java object-based development that will greatly simplify EJB development. We at JBoss hope to have a prototype by JavaOne.
It sounds like the expert group is moving in the path of POJO + Annotations. If they then supported a lightweight container model with IoC, developers would probably be very happy.
In fact, this would make EJB 3 very similar to Spring (hmm, what would Springs niche be...).
This would be a very bold move by the EJB EG... but one that has to happen for the future of EJB. I hope they can push this all through! I can't wait to hear more at the TSS Symposium this week!
