Migration of MVCSoft Persistance to JBoss CMP

[aroller]

Has anyone migrated from using MVCSoft Persistance Manager for their JBoss 2.x CMP EJBs to JBoss 3.x CMP?

Please share any experience you may have had and any opinion if we should drop MVCSoft altogether.

Thanx.

Describe the potential problems or issues you cast doubt on. Do you use some MVCSoft specific features?

We used MVCSoft for EJB 2.0 CMP on JBoss 2.x. Now JBoss 3.x provides EJB 2.0 CMP so we could, in theory, not use MVCSoft anymore. If anyone has already investigated the differences between using MVCSoft CMP vs. JBoss 3.x CMP we would appreciate any insight.

MVCSoft's persistence was somewhat easy to use and I didn't find any/many bugs. JBoss 3.x CMP is somewhat new so there may be many bugs or performance issues. Other's that may have purchased MVCSoft's Persistence Manager probably investigated the differences already and have decided to use one of the other while upgrading to JBoss 3.x. I would be interested in those results before doing my own investigation and posting my results.

Essentially, if JBoss CMP is as good as MVCSoft then I might as well just go with JBoss and simplify my architecture.

I tested out JBoss 3.0 cmp briefly and I am quite sure it is better than MVC Soft. The constraint checking alone is much better. JBoss appears to have more configuration options for tweaking the system.
