I am sorry in advance if my question sounds too generic - I am doing all preliminary research myself but nothing substitutes real experience...

My goal is to port a legacy JEE application (pre-EJB 3.x) to Tomcat with embedded EJB container. My choices currently stand as follows:

JBoss Embeddable EJB
Apache OpenEJB
OW2 Consortium EasyBeans
anything else?

I am expecting to use JMS (with MDBs), Session beans (stateful and stateless), JPA and I am really excited about using JSF with Seam.

Now, given choices above, are there any advantages in using one or another embedded EJB provider?

Eager / auto loading of EJB / load EJB on startup (on JBoss)

as seen on Stack Overflow - Search for 'Stack Overflow'
EJBs seem to be loaded lazily - whenever accessed. However, I want to initialize them eagerly - i.e. whenever the container starts-up. How is this achieved (in JBoss in particular) This topic gives some hints, but isn't quite satisfactory. >>> More
ClassCastException When Calling an EJB that Exists on Same Server

I have 2 ejbs. Ejb-A that calls Ejb-B. They are not in the same Ear. For portability Ejb-B may or may not exist on the same server. (There is an external property file that has the provider URLs of Ejb-B. I have no control over this.) Example Code: in Ejb-A EjbBDelegate delegateB = EjbBDelegateHelper… >>> More
