[Ejbca-develop] Migration to Spring / JPA

[Yannick M. <yme...@ya...>]

EJBCA is a great piece of software, but the fact that is requires an 
EJB2 server is a major pain in the backside :)

So in order to solve that issue, as well as making the whole thing more 
maintainable, I've decided to put in the effort to migrate the whole 
thing to JPA + Spring.

If anyone wants to give a hand, that would be welcome :)

In order to reduce risk of breaking things, i'm taking an approach to do 
a progressive migration with the least changes as possible, keeping the 
xdoclet EJB interface layer as-is for the time being. It will allow to 
have the new Spring/JPA being running at the same time as EJB2 code, and 
thus reduce the risk of breaking things during the process, as well as 
reduce the amount of work as no changes to client code are required.
