FYI to developers out there. JBoss has a working implementation of the proposed EJB 3.0 spec. It requires Java 1.5 but IIUC, since XSP was the only real stumbling block on Cocoon/Java 1.5 compatibility, it's not a big stumbling block.

An introduction to the proposed EJB 3.0 spec:

The EJB 3.0 spec (JSR 220):
 http://jcp.org/aboutJava/communityprocess/edr/jsr220/index.html

Highlights to EJB 3.0:
 Plain ol' Java objects (like Hibernate et al.)
 No more home interfaces or abstract classes
 No more deployment descriptors (handled through annotations)
