Actually, take a look at JSDT--perfect for a chat system.
I think as we've seen from the posts--ejb just doesn't make sense for a
chat system. Perhaps the primary reason is that EJBs are for handling
transactional operations, distributed processing, persistence mechanisms
and related services. But a chat system does not need to involve
transactions or those other services.
