No EJB because it's also a Spring Shop. One of my missions is to help them to build their next official stack based on JBoss EAP 6 (which should be out in January). So I try to promote full Java EE 6 stack (with CDI and EJB 3.1) and put Spring aside as an alternative/Legacy framework. But it won't work if they don't have a supported solution to use their old Spring components / Knowledge in this new stack.
