Spent a couple of days with the Sulake tech team and two consultants mapping out what our technology roadmap for next year should look like. People are pretty eager to start refactoring parts of our platform, using J2EE technologies to help in making it easier to develop with. Looking good, even if the schedule is going to be challenging.

Now if only JBoss felt like something that would be safe to use in a production cluster.. but it just does not seem like a manageable solution.

Refactoring with j2ee technologies usually means starting from scratch. Have you selected your j2ee integrated dev-tools well enough? I mean j2ee dev without proper tools is PITA!

Anyone developing J2EE without at least Eclipse and XDoclet is begging for trouble. That, and testing on JBoss (or Eclipse JBoss-IDE) should get you pretty far...
