Could you perhaps rephrase this with a little less
buzzword-compliance?  I mean, I know EJB is "enterprise java beans"
but what does the session/messaging do?  I'm pretty sure the j in
"JNDI tree" also stands for Java, but We should be able to discuss
what the features DO without being java programmers.

And as someone from the world of computational science, I assure you,
not all problems have unlimited scalability, regardless of how
wiz-bang your programming language and libraries are.  So what
problems are you scaling in an unlimited fashion? :)
