Thanks for all your posts - I have found an article that I have found most helpful and has corrected some of my misunderstandings...
http://www.oracle.com/technology/pub/articles/masterj2ee/j2ee_wk1.html It points out there are 5 different kinds of JEE apps, and the first one it describes it calls the Stovepipe or "Silo". All the JEE applications I've been exposed to are examples of this kind of app. The simple, stand alone, front end - business logic - data acess application, employed to achieve a particular goal and does so with one to one relationships between the entities. The three layers form a vertical stack, hence the "stovepipe" tag. Using JEE for this kind of application is not necessarily the best solution. It can over complexify things. I'm not saying that one should _not_ use JEE for an application of this kind; if there is potential for extending the app beyond the stove pipe model then there is a good case for using JEE, it is just not always the best fit. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CTJUG Forum" group.
