Java EE 6: module and application scopes of java:comp/env?

I would like to get feedbacks about
application-scoped and module-scoped resource/EJB references (in
java:comp/env) which are being discussed in Java EE 6 JSR.

As you know, when we define simple
environment entries or refer to data sources or EJBs we need to
specify java:comp/env ENC(Environment Naming Context) entries like
below.

TopLink Essentials enhancements - category-specific logging level and cascade refresh query hint

Recently I've implemented two minor but useful features for TopLink Essentials(TLE) v2 b54(or GlassFish v2 b54).

TopLink Essentials 2.0 and maven repository

TopLink Essentials 2.0?

TopLink Essentials(GlassFish JPA implementation) now come to have a new
version 2.0. But, don't be surprised, this is just versioning change from 9.1.
TopLink Essentials 2.0 and 9.1 are the same version.

Originally TopLink Essentials had a version like 9.0(GlassFish v1),
9.1(GlassFish v2) after the version of Sun Java System Application
Server.

JPA: Supplement to the access type of @Embeddable class

In Java Persistence API, Embeddable class is used to represent composite primary key or share common columns between entities. But when sharing Embeddable classes, you should be cautious whether its fields or properties are mapped to the database due to the unclear spec. I will introduce the supplementary rules to the spec which is implemented in GlassFish(TopLink Essentials).

How to configure a logger type in TopLink Essentials (Part 2)

Previously I bloged about How to use Java Logger in Java SE mode - a workaround to change logger type. But the workaround is no more needed.

Understanding the cache of TopLink Essentials(GlassFish JPA)

Introduction

The hype of JPA has slowed down and time has come to apply this to real applications.

TopLink Essentials: How to use Java Logger in Java SE mode

TopLink Essentials(GlassFish JPA RI) can be used also in Java SE mode as you know. I will talk about how to change the default logger to java logger in this article.

When you use TopLink in Java SE, you see following log messages generated by a default logger.

EJB 3 & JPA material used in JavaOne wrapup seminar held in Seoul

So many people came to JavaOne wrapup seminar held in Seoul, Korea on 8 July. It was organized as small scale(100 people expected) by Sun Korea, but I guess more than 200 people came in.
