Sorry if you feel that the article is biased against Spring. But actually, I did discuss Spring's advantage over EJB 3.0. For instance, it is more flexible, has generic DI and the XML config format does have advantages in some situations ...
Furthermore, I believe EJB 3.0 is greatly indebted to open source frameworks like Spring and Hibernate -- they pioneered the key concepts in EJB 3.0.
However, I also believe that EJB 3.0 learned the lessons from Spring and Hibernate so well that, in most cases, EJB 3.0 addresses what most developers need with a standard API. I guess that is cause of the perception that the article is "biased". But believe me, I did not intend to talk down upon Spring.
As for "in container testing", I do believe it is better than mocking -- if the container is lightweight and small. But obviously, this is subject to debate. :)
