fotunately not.

 

Stuff like Hiberate is becoming more and more common due to it giving
better performance than straight EJB.

I believe EJB3 will have more than a few bits of code from Hibernate
in it.

 

indeed. EJB3 appears to = "EJB with all the crap bits thrown away and
actually easy to use". Also seems to work better with XDoclet, but that
could be me failing to understand properly...

 

ISTR EJB3 contain sa proper persistence framework wrapper - so you can use
Hibernate, Toplink, whatever, but have it present a consistent interface to
the outside world.

 

Now that would be very nice.

 

I posted that, and then wondered if it was something I'd dreamt, but it's
real - although it looks like it's actually pushed out to J2EE5. It's
JSR-220 if you want to look it up, a POJO-based persistence architecture.
Hibernate are working towards JSR-220 compliance - presumably through some
sort of abstraction layer, because they're still going to allow you to code
to the "classic" Hibernate API.

But whatever, it's "all just databases"

 

Sounds nice, but I'm only waiting for one JSR at once. Currently I
want the JSR170 to bloody hurry up.

Surely, it's "all just the model".
