When a JBoss EJB 3.0 Production Release Version will be publ

[pomeloverde]

I have migrated to J2EE on this summer. I have learned the J2EE 1.4 standards and now I'm going to develop a new poject. I have choiced JBoss Aplication Server 4.x for it (due to obvious reasons) and I really adore the EJB 3.0 new standard. I have downloaded the EJB3 container RC2 and studied tutorials and documentacion about it (specially those provided by JBoss).

I have planned developing the project along the next three or four months, and I want start using EJB 3.0 RC2. The question is....¿When the first Production Release of EJB 3.0 container will be available?

I know that the official Java EE 5 specification is planned to first quarter of 2006, but JBoss is doing a really excelent work providing an early implementation of a EJB3 container. Wait months to start to develop real projects with EJB3 is too much....

Thanks very much to all JBoss team.

Read the reply again. Yes, everything seems to work well and reliably for the applications I've written both on my home computer (Linux) and the work computer (Windows). However, it is unlikely that the commercial host will roll out 4.0.3 with RC2 appended. That most likely applies to all commercial hosts.

I'll e-mail them and ask them, but I don't expect a positive reply. They are cheap and quite reliable, but answering emails and and personal help is not their forte.

We are patiently waiting for EJB3 spec to go final before releasing a preview version that we will support. Also, since the entire Java EE 5 specification will not be final until Q1/Q2 next year we cannot officially say EJB3 is "production", but in December, our EJB 3.0 implementation will be a preview of EJB3 that we support.
