This is a key concept, and is half of the reason I asked. My thinking when
I asked the question (and I didn't say so, because I was hopeing for a wide
varity of thoughts, and I am thrilled with the volumn and quality of the
replies - thanks *lots* everyone!) was that there are two issues:

First, I want to reuse as much code as possible among different type of
clients, whether it is a servlet or an applet or an actual application
written in Java or any other language.

Second, I want my app (which is intended for resale) to be compatible with
as wide a varity of application server - or just web server - as possible.
That may include those which do not support replicated session state
accross a cluster.

Of course, I am concerned about performance and scaleability. An SFSB is
going to chew up resources primarely from clients that never properly
disconnect and just time out (because there users go home for the night,
minimize the window and forget about it, and so on). Currently, I'm leaning
toward using SFSBs and putting tons of RAM and big CPUs in my servers. But
I'm still on the fence.

Thanks again everyone!

Jim
