Hi.
Does J2ee "5" will have (or has... those things goes fast) a default implementation (like predessessors)?
J2ee 5 will have a set of javax.xxx interfaces to implement right ? how hibernate will integrate with this new pattern? (a refactoring?)
Where can I follow this development and in what stage it is?
Is there a preview date to EJB 3 and hibernate+jboss will take how much time to follow the new specs after that?

Hi Alexandre,
Like any other JRA, a Reference Implementation will be provided by Sun.
A small wrapper will implement the EJB3 APIs on top of Hibernate and Hibernate Annotations. Expect it soon, when the next EJB3 spec draft will be out.
Have a look at Hibernate Annotations for now wich is the edr2 implementation of the EJB3 annotations metadata for Hibernate, and check JBoss EJB3 preview 5 witch is an implementation of the EJB3 edr2 draft. Those are already out and running.
