Hello, here are my thoughts if any is interesting I think ezPublish should think about it a lot before considering using such concepts in the internal mechanisms of ezPublish. (I'm sure they will ;-) ) I'm sure phpbean is interesting as a project, and in some case can be use as an interoperability layer (with some very limitating prerequisites) but i don't think it's a good strategy for PHP and EzPublish to adopt those kind of design. Even J2EE is now trying to evolve to concepts that are simpler. EJB, RMI and before , Corba, were far too complicated for building web application.
I'm sure both PHP and ezPublish have to go to Enterprise solutions. But not copying J2EE, simply improving quality and still relying on the strength of PHP : simple to use, build for Web (and not for highly transactionnal back en d systems), simple to learn, simple to set up (no compilations, no Ant scripts for deployment ...)
They are to many projects trying to port J2EE to PHP. They are interesting as experiments, i don't think more. I've look at this Phing project, it is porting well known Java tools "ANT" to PHP. For me, this is a "non sense" even if Phing is really a nice piece of code.
If ever anyone is interesting in looking at those kind of work, there is the Mojavi project, wich is an MVC implementation for PHP5, that could be really interesting, even when working on the port of ezPublish to PHP5. http://www.mojavi.org/
