:)  Perhaps legacy was not the correct term...but I knew it would be the term you would like the most. :)  It will be interesting to see how things look 2 years from now.

>And except for "nested transactions" I do not see any technical argument for using a Spring/JavaBean 
>container instead of an EJB 3.0 container or Seam container.

Ah, the age old question.  Why do people use Spring?

>I guess it would be easy to teach the Seam/JavaBean container the same proprietary tricks - it's just not

Java is all about choice.  You have every right to choose to wait for JTA standard support for nested transactions if you wish. :)
