OpenEJB now has support for EJB 2.0 Local Interfaces. This is very nice for when OpenEJB is combined with Tomcat or embedded in another application where Remote interfaces are not always needed. See the "Moviefun" example in the source or binary distributions for how to use them. Note that no other EJB 2.0 features (such as CMP 2 or MDBs)
are supported in the OpenEJB 1.x codebase.

Collapsed EAR support

Collapsed EARs EARs are an OpenEJB invention allowing you to combine your ejbs and servlets in the same archive and classloader. This is essentially a new way to embed OpenEJB into Tomcat so that OpenEJB and your EJBs are loaded only into your webapp. Combine this with an embedded database and you have a complete mini-J2EE environment that can be hosted in your Tomcat webapp space.
