Could you give an overview of how applications that are using only standard APIs would be
affected?
I believe that as long as code isn't touching nested client contexts,
most client code should work unchanged; at least, that's the intent.
That's why I did the in-depth change analysis (I used
japi-compliance-checker to derive the list of changes on the original mail).
As an example, the scope stuff was all config driven, so I imagine
that for most users this will just be property changes, and there existing code will most
likely work as is.
Yeah. I haven't done *anything* with the existing property-based config
format though; I think this would have to be a compatibility module for
the shared config stuff, something that lives in ejb-client and runs if
the new client XML config isn't found, as a fallback. I'm pretty
confident that we can do that without too much trouble though.
I'm hoping that by getting out ahead of this, we can flush out any
compatibility surprises before everything is in .final though.
