Re: [Ejbca-develop] EJBCA with Java 7 and Open Training

[Tomas G. <to...@pr...>]

You would be surprised how much work it is to get a complex application, 
as EJBCA, to run on a new architecture such as JBoss 7.

You can just see the size of https://jira.primekey.se/browse/ECA-2066.

For example it would be completely infeasible to get EJBCA 4 running on 
JBoss. Even for a very sharp developer it is several months of work, 
without extensive testing.

The good news is that we have everything up and running "in the lab". 
Still it will be a number of months before you can reap the benefits.

Cheers
Tomas
