I'm interested on the first way to intregate Spring and EJB3.
I have tried it in a example project buy it doesn't run. I'm searching since many time a solution,but nothing.
I have posted on Spring forum,but no one seems can help me.
I appreciate if you can help me.Thank you

Is a machine-centric Cloud Computing environment more suitable for delivering single-tenant instances?
Steve Bobrowski wrote an interesting whitepaper about the Force.com Multitenant Architecture. He describes multitenancy as a design approach to improve the manageability of SaaS applications and metadata-driven architecture as the choice to implement multitenancy. Steve writes that IaaS as a machine-centric Cloud Computing environment is more suitable for delivering single-tenant instances (compared to a “true” multitenant PaaS solution). This is an interesting insight.
Benefits of multitenancy:
economies of scale for the provider through small, experienced IT Ops, a single code base and a single platform
cost efficiency is partly passed to consumers who pay lower prices.
I do not agree with Steve that the quality of SaaS is necessarily higher because network-based applications still have major deficits compared to local applications, especially Desktop apps.
no information silos; instead, improved collaboration and integration
Benefits of metadata-driven architectures:
Metadata-driven architectures are a good choice to implement multitenancy since they provide a polymorphic, dynamic application environment. This allows users of the platform to build custom extensions.
How to build a metadata-driven architecture?
The main idea is to separate a compiled runtime environment (”kernel”) from several (meta-)data layers (data, common metadata and tenant-specific metadata). When a user creates a custom extension, the extension is saved in a metadata directory and created on runtime (thus improving scalability). A potential bottleneck are metadata I/O operations which is why caching of the “virtual applications” + directory search optimzation is a good idea. Force.com provides developers with a WSDL document that lets them generate an API for accessing the Force.com Web services. More information on Force.com-specific development can be found in the very read-worthy whitepaper.
