Is Java EE 5 easier with EJB?
Many enterprise Java developers gained some experience with Enterprise JavaBeans and went on to choose technologies they deemed lighter-weight, because they felt that building a solution by hand or with a lighter-weight framework was easier and less time-consuming. With EJB 3.X, is it still true that a POJO-solution is simpler, more-comprehensible code? Adam Bien doesn't think so:

Rod Johnson: Are we there yet?
We've come a long way from the first versions of J2EE. We've learned to avoid invasive programming models, we've developed a rich set of frameworks and APIs, we know how to develop applications based around simple objects. Are we there yet? Most of us would answer no to that question. If we're not there yet, then where are we headed next? Spring founder Rod Johnson explores this issue.
