A Brief Overview of Java EE 6
A report of a presentation at a user group about Java Enterprise Edition (JEE) version 6, written in slightly unusual language – I can’t quite imagine that the main reason to try Spring is “to get high”.
I tend to agree with the author that a JEE “profile” with servlets, messaging (JMS) and transaction management would be a very useful idea, though. Despite the improvements and the hype I still have not found a compelling use for EJB other than a brief flirtation with message-driven beans

I also wonder about EJB. It doesn’t seem like a particularly clean programming paradigm, and the overheads (in terms of learning, deployment and operation) seem heavy.
PS: I don’t know where you get the time to read all this, Frank. I expect you’re in a hiatus phase, waiting for the dissertation project to start. Lucky you – I’m finishing M873, then I’ve got to move lock, stock and barrel to Liverpool!

I guess I have always been a voracious reader of this sort of stuff on the web. I always have a bursting email box and a full RSS reader. In fact. most of what I read I never get around to blogging. After an initial flurry earlier this year, I had some comments from some readers that I was writing too much to digest.
I now deliberately try to restrict myself to only blogging about a few things each day. It’s tricky deciding which to blog and which to skip, though.
