Re: [JBoss-user] Re: TopLink for CMP

[Jiri L. <jir...@ya...>]

Christopher,

if you can miss Entity Beans, Toplink works perfectly with "any" J2ee
server. We use Toplink+JBoss using the following model:
SessionBeans->PureJavaObjects mapped by Toplink->DB. We have written a
MBean that encapsulates integration/configuration of Toplink within a
J2EE server.

Jiri.
