clustering

[bill.burke]

Quite honestly, if you're happy with Hibernate, continue to use hibernate. Our EJB 3.0 entity bean solution is a thin wrapper around HB3. For entities, we will plug in JBossCache directly into Hibernate to provide a cluster-wide transactional cache for entities. But...again...you can do this with Hibernate standalone.

Any idea on the timeframe for clustering support w/ EJB3? The JBoss EJB3 page currently says that clustering is not supported...

Clustering is scheduled for the next preview release end of December.

For those of us who do not use Hibernate and want to try to use ejb3 in a solution, the blobs question is still important. I would like to be able to store image files and other types of files using ejb3 and an example of its use would be fantastic. I believe that blobs are probably the answer here but I have never seen an example of how to do it. Is there a timescale for blob support? Also, I would recommend blobs as an example to possibly put up on the ejb3 tutorial if possible.
thanks,
