Re: EJB-INTEREST Digest - 10 Oct 1999 to 11 Oct 1999 (#1999-277)

Hi,

I didn't see a response so I am responding to the following email.  You ask
whether to use Weblogic or J2EE.  J2EE is a specification and a platform not an
application or web server.  J2EE is a specification for vendors like BEAsys
(Weblogic) to create a server environment that is compatible to other server
environments so that you, the application developer, can port your code from one
server to another.  Well, that's it in a nutshell.  If you want to read the J2EE
specification go to:

http://java.sun.com/j2ee/

There is a J2EE reference implementation available but this is not a commercial
application.  Following is a quote from the J2EE Overview at:

http://java.sun.com/j2ee/overview3.html


J2EE Reference Implementation

Key to validating the Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition, the J2EE Reference
Implementation provides all the specified technologies, plus a range of sample
applications, tools, and documentation. This lightweight implementation of the
J2EE standard is provided for two purposes. First, it provides system vendors
with a standard by which to compare their own implementations. Second, it
provides application developers with a way to familiarize themselves with J2EE
technology as they explore commercial products for full-scale deployment of J2EE
applications.


As you can see, the reference implementation helps you to familiarize yourself
with J2EE as you explore real products.  You should be able to write some code
using the reference implementation until products are available that are fully
compliant.

Subject: Weblogic / J2EE - which is better?

Hi All,
        I am new to EJB technology.I am unable to decide which application
server to prefer - Weblogic or J2EE or any other else.I need to decide
this before writing any EJBeans because later on I can't afford any
problem.Any body can lead me to the write decision.
