I was thinking about this discussion of servlets and application servers
and taking into consideration that I know nothing about EJB, but have some
minor experience with an app server, and lots of experience with servlets.
In fact, when dealing with this particular app server (NetDynamics) I can
help but wondering why this couldn't be done better, smaller, faster with
servlets?
With this in mind I think about how there are so many new and wonderful
things being done with Java, it seems like a lot of them overlap. Being
that all my server side java experience is with servlets, I have a nice
hammer here and everything is indeed looking like a nail.
So I pose this question to my java compatriots with experience in other
realms of server side java. Why would I use an app server or some other
technology? What does EJB give me? Couldn't I use EJB with servlets as
opposed to an EJB centric appserver?
The things I've read about the server I'm using, none of which convinced
me that were I a corporation I should sink $25k into something like
NetDynamics that I couldn't do with a webserver. Keep in mind though that
I have no experience with EJB, so I don't know what advantages of using
EJB with an app server would be as opposed to using EJB with a web server
and servlets, where the webserver is simply a standardized means of
client/server communication.
