My Interview for Dzone

I've been recently interviewed by Geertjan Wielenga for Netbeans Zone on Dzone.

EJB 3.1 New Features Sneak Peek

Reza Rahman has posted the 4th part of a articles series about "New Features in EJB 3.1" upcoming EJB jsr that will be part of JEE 6.0 jsr.
This part 4 is focused on the Web Beans jsr, something you could already taste with Seam Framework as Gavin King and Bob Lee are co-leading this specification.
As of this 4th part I was feeling like home since I was following Seam since 1.1 days even thought I didn't got time to deeply dig into Bob's Guice.
All I've seen is pretty nice and would make JEE devs life easier. But still I have minor enhancements (I'll be emailing the EG about) I would like to see incorporated into those jsr's :

• For POJO components DI, I'd like to see @Singleton annotation (for the singleton class) along with @Factory (for the getInstance() method) . Thought those are already present in Guice. A good usage would be ease of migration for legacy code since one would have just to decorate the existing classes to get them into a JEE 6 compliant application.
• Out of box integration with Bean Validation jsr.
• And yes I want the Interceptor thing into the whole JEE stack. It's a neat way to get Aspects right into JEE.

And Long Life Duke!

Arun Gupta was here

Arun Gupta "a Technology Evangelist for Web Services and Web 2.0 Apps at Sun" left a comment on my blog! Wow this man has simply very impressive credentials, his blog "Miles to go.." is one of the most read in the JEE community.
Still I can't realise that my simple work got such echo and all those positives feedbacks are just motivating to move further.
It's such a great community that I look to join! You guys rocks!
Arun, thanks for the motivating visit and for the valuables tips you gave :)
