New Features
EJB 3.0
OpenEJB 3.0 supports the EJB 3.0 specification as well as the prior EJB 2.1, EJB 2.0, and EJB 1.1. New features in EJB 3.0 include:
...
OpenEJB 3.0 supports injection of any data type for which you can supply a JavaBeans PropertyEditor. We include several built-in PropertyEditors already such as Date, InetAddress, Class, File, URL, URI, Map, List and more.
...
...
To fix this, OpenEJB supports the idea of a META-INF/env-entries.properties file where we will look for the value of things that need injection that are not container controlled resources (i.e. datasources and things of that nature). You can configure you ejbs via a properties file and skip the need for an ejb-jar.xml and it's 5 lines per property madness.
...
...
Support for GlassFish descriptors
...
A complication when using EJB is that plain client applications are at the mercy of vendor's chosen methodology for how JNDI names should be constructed. OpenEJB breaks the mold by allowing you to specify the exact format you'd like OpenEJB to use for your server or any individual application. Supply us with a formatting string, such as "ejb/{ejbName}/{interfaceClass.simpleName}", to get a JNDI layout that best matches your needs.
