Is the JOnAS xdoclet module has been updated to support 3.0 features?

Hello,

Just to say i wrote a tutorial in french on JOnAS. You will find it at http://www.ashita-studio.com/tutoriaux/ejb/

It's for beginners, great for peoples who don't EJB or don't know JOnAS.

Have fun !

Jonas is a great product. Really

According to the research conducted by Rice University, performs gracefully under heavy loads. Check out their research paper to be published in OOPSLA.

This is excellent news !!
One little thing: in order to integrate tomcat 4.1, the jonas.properties must contain the following line:

jonas.service.tomcat.class org.objectweb.jonas.web.catalina41.CatalinaJWebContainerServiceImpl

And not the one specified in the file itself. Let me know if this is correct ?
