Documentation

New sections were added in the EasyBeans user guide.

• EasyBeans configuration file
• Smart JNDI factory in order to make EJBs Clients in an easy way

Persistence

This version embeds the last Hibernate EntityManager version (3.2.0GA) which was release a couple of days ago. Tests have also been done Oracle Toplink Essentials (v2build21) as persistence provider.

New features

One of the new feature implemented in this version is the security part with a JACC provider available within Standalone/Tomcat version. When EasyBeans is used with JOnAS, it uses the JOnAS security authentication and propagation. An example shows these new features.
