Joe, do you remember me?, so I'm no iSeries industrial expert in your 
opinion??? Do you really think you are the one and only expert???

The main things are scalability and better separation of business layer and 
controller; not platform indipendence! I've made some reviews of projects in 
the last three years and the projects not using ejbs had more problems with 
business code in the controller (especially using STRUTS, thats one of the 
weak points).

Joe, more then 10 years ago we journaled all files in an environment without 
any java programms, totally rpg without commit, we've journaled all files, 
for recovery after program faults and for problem detection, whats wrong with 
journaling???
