I totally agree :-)

Assuming Nik can do enterprise beans and their remove methods (which  
he is well on the way towards), I think the remaining 4 items should  
take 4-6 days. Over the next three weeks I have perhaps 3-4 days to  
spend on this, so it depends on how much help we can get :-) For now,  
I will work on the bootstrap (which I hope to get done by the end of  
next week), if someone wants to look at the session context and JSF  
integration.
