Hi
My company is looking at the advantages of using EJB over our in house
application server. The requirements of the server is much like a
typical e-commerce product except we also have to process UDP/TCP
connections.
Accepting network connections don't fit into the role of an entity or
session bean, so it would seem like in order to use EJB:
1. Convert our most of our business objects to Session or Entity beans
2. Keep our own system level framework (plumbing code) to support our
existing business objects relating to processing the UDP/TCP connections.
3. Have the UDP/TCP related code talk to the session beans
Wasn't the advantage of EJB not having to create/maintain system level code
and focusing only on business objects? It seems like
we would have to have two system frameworks (our own to handling UDP/TCP
portion and the EJB's application server's for the rest )
Thanks
Albert

Hm.. it doesn't really make sense to me to have that kind of
functionality in a EJB I'm afraid. Why do you want to use EJB to solve
your problem? What does EJB give you that would make it easier for you
in your particular case?
