The first ten minutes are, to put it mildly, utterly and thoroughly pointless. What on earth is the motivation to discuss the deploymentinitialisation performance There's next to no magic involved, a bean is created, stuff is injected into it (looked up from JNDI by the container for you if it's a naive implementation, or more optimised, either way, pretty cheap). Once that's done, it's done, init is complete,...http://www.jroller.com/fate/entry/javaone_ejb_3_0_optimisation JavaOne BEA Keynote- May 18, 2006 Having managed to blag my way into sitting on the second row during the BEA keynote, and having subsequently borrowed a BEA laptop to bile on, I almost feel bad for doing this. Still, it must be done, life can be so cruel sometimes. First we have Bill Roth (BEA VP type dude), who starts off with debunking a lot of the shit that spotty little open sores sycophants have been spooging about in the last year or so.

Surprisingly, this library is so so abysmally bad, that I have yet to find someone who has managed to successfully use it. I will attempt to give a whirlwind tour of some of the things that are wrong with it. Most of these can be seen through a very very superficial cursory glance, it's stuff that anyone trying a 'hello world' app will run into. The first thing that'd strike any English speaker is how...http://www.jroller.com/fate/entry/axis2_why_bother |
