Java EE 6, EJB 3.1, and JPA 2.0

JSR 316 for Java EE 6 is in place.
It has updates for: Servlet 3.0, EJB 3.1, JPA 2.0, JSF 2.0, JAX-WS...
and new JSRs Web Beans, JAX-RS (Restful Webservices), Work Manager and Timer
(Java Persistence API) JPA 2.0 forked from JRS 220 to a new instance JSR 317, new (Enterprise JavaBeans) EJB 3.1 is now filed as JSR 318.

Expected from the new version of JPA 2.0 is an API for "criteria" queries and the ability to have hierarchies of Embeddables.

Rod has written a good writeup about this.
