Here is the landing page for our position on EE 6, and links to the webinar are on the right.

For a short-cut here is a link where you can directly register for the webinar:

Java EE 6 and Frameworks like Spring

It's been a while since I posted.  It's been very busy in my new role.  Today, I came across this TSS thread, and thought I would share it:

Moving from Spring to Java EE 6: The Age of Frameworks is Over

Here is also a direct link to the migration article referenced in the TSS thread:

Spring to Java EE – A Migration Experience

I found the article both intriguing, and informative.  The work that Red Hat has done with JSR-299, the CDI reference implementation is really becoming a water shed moment for enterprise developers.  Instead of having to work around all the anti-patterns and missing pieces of Java EE, you can now count on what you need being there, and a completely extensible model for development!

There is no longer a need for external frameworks to make your life easier.  That's indeed good news!
