How Big Is Actually The EJB 3.1 Container In Glassfish v3? - Because EJBs are Hevyweight, It Has to be Huge...
Glassfish v3 is modular, so you can easily install and uninstall modules on the fly. Therefore it is very easy to measure the "disc-size" of a particular technology. The whole installation package (for GF v3 prelude b24) takes ...324 KB (three jars: connector, timer service, and the actual implementation). It is small enough to be executed on SunSPOTs or cellular phones.... So how would you call a complete framework with 324 KB "Heavyweight"? :-)
I plan to demonstrate this, as well as some Java EE 6 features at JUG HH. Warning: some design patterns will probably die during the session :-). So see you in Hamburg!

when you say EJB3.1 container, you are not talking about a full JPA implementation right?

You need to record your presentations on video and host them at parleys.com

JPA is completely separate from EJB. JPA 2.0 is JSR317 and EJB 3.1 is JSR318

Yes, you need to record your presentation, I'm looking forward to see which patterns will die:)

However, I will only be interested in the videos if they are in English :)

Hi Adam. Can I invite you to give a Webinar as part of the new TheAquarium.TV series [1]? We are still debugging the process but we have had a few speakers already that are remote.
Ken will be talking about EJB3.1 soon, probably in October, perhaps you could try to get into the schedule in November?
It would have to be in English, and we are presenting at 11am PT, which is not ideal for Europe but hopefully is OK. If that does not work, we can talk some more.

Hi Afsina,
GF v3 comes with Eclipse-Link - previous TopLink JPA implementation. This is larger: about 4 MB (4 jars as well).
EJB 3.1 (Session Beans) and JPA 2.0 are separated - two independent specs,
regards,
adam

Eduardo,
sounds interesting - now I'm a little bit busy (have to file GF v3 bugs as a fishcat :-)). But November should work for me!,
regards,
adam

Ryan,
thank you for your comments. I will post about the sudden death of patterns in near future (it will be controversial - so looking forward to it :-)),
regards,
adam
