Bonjour,

If you want to learn more about EJB 3.0, Persistence, Annotations, NetBeans, GlassFish, Java EE 5, JSF, Crud, Ajax, Ease of Development, Java BluePrints, and you are around Antwerp (Belgium) in December 2005, you need to attend Javapolis 2005. This year, there is a Development Tools day, and NetBeans will be well represented.
I will be presenting the current status of both the NetBeans project and the GlassFish project, and how the combination of the two technologies offers a great environment for any developer who wants to learn the new Persistence, EJB 3.0 annotations and ease of development features.
If you cannot attend the conference, you can still read the excellent blog regarding NetBeans and Persistence on the web tier level (Not the 'old' EJBs, just Entity beans in a Web Application), or read the related GlassFish page.
