Hi Kevin,
I've been watching the progress of Spring and the whole lighweight
container "movement", and I have a feeling of deja vu all that time.
After attending a seminar with Rod Johnson's (the book author)
participation, I even thought of writing an article on the irony of the
whole subject :-)
My take on it is that yes - J2EE will eventually be like WebObjects,
though nobody will admit that:
(1) EJB will be quietly pushed to the side or reimplemented to favor
local persistent objects using Object Relational Mapping instead of
remote "beans".
(2) Web presentation piece will be done using component approach
(mostly JSF, but also Tapestry) instead of JSP/Struts.
(3) The notion of "container" will evolve into something useful to your
applications, instead of something that creates unneeded constraints
and overhead. This is where "lightweight containers" are showing the
way with object factories, inversion of control, etc. Still to me the
useful part of a "lightweight container" is not much different from
com.webobjects.appserver.WOApplication, only with fewer or no
singletons (which is good). I am still cautious about other features
that Spring and co. have - AOP, transaction management, etc.
So J2EE is borrowing main WebObjects ideas, providing more heavy and
convoluted implementation for them. Lots of good ideas are buried under
the weight of the beast. Just take backwards compatibility with all the
mistakes made in the past years - this already costs J2EE dearly.

Hi, all,
Any one read this book?
The author introduced new J2EE architecture "Lightweight Container"
architecture.
Something is very similar to our WebObjects architecture, is it means
that J2EE should move simply solution like WebObjects?
any comments, thanks,
kevin
