In my experience it isn't developers you have to convince but management. They consider it CYA to have a big name vendor to call upon in times of trouble. I've used Tomcat and WebLogic at times. Both worked great and support from each was terrific. The Tomcat effort had to be somewhat "under the radar" whereas the WebLogic could be banner headlines. Go figure....
You're blaming WebLogic for using Entity Beans? It's a known best practice to use Session Beans as a facade to a data layer rather than use Entity Beans. I've had a positive experience using WebLogic 6.1.
Which would argue for making the creation and subsequent abandonment of an embryo/fetus/baby a crime, would it not? That's the trouble with trying to pinpoint when a human becomes a human with the rights of protection that an adult has. Once your definition strays into x time after conception, you relegate those groups of cells that exist prior to your definition as just property.
This is an excellent example of the slippery slope we are on. By even asking "who owns..." you start degrading the human life that was produced these lines. Maybe I'm wrong but I thought slavery (the ownership of another human) was banned in this country. What's to stop us from asking "who's property is this fetus, this baby, etc.?" I'm just thankful that Mom and Dad though of me as a person not fodder for research. You should be too.
