        High volume as in number of concurrent visitors or number of
        transactions?  Or high volume as in page throughput or http (or
        socket) throughput?

        Theoretically EJB can be used for high-volume sites like an electronic
        trading system.  Architecturally, as part of an App Server product, EJB
        should not be fundamentally slower than Servlet/JDBC/JavaClasses.  The
        vendor app server product should be able to scale much better than a
        home-grown solution.  If the home-grown solution is superior... then I
        want to get in on the IPO... ;)

        Actually, are there 'rules of the road' for this stuff?  What are the
        heuristics for choosing a AppServer/EJB(et al) over a WebServer/Servlets?
