Craig, You should take a look at Marc Fleury's paper "Why I love EJBs" (should be easy to find on jboss.org). Between the egocentric pub stories (they are interesting too), there is a recommendation to keep the web server in the same JVM as the EJB server. His thesis is: serialisation is the real bottleneck in distributed systems, so avoid it wherever possible. You need it between the DB and the server, and between the server and the client, but why split the server into front-end and back-end. He also mentions the possibility of caching to gain mega performance improvements too. Ciao, Jonathan O'Connor XCOM Dublin

In the interest of maintaining maximum portability (e.g., to enable us to later move to separate boxes for the two tiers), I would like to disallow Local access from the servlet tier. Obviously, our design avoids using it, but I'm concerned that "leakage" might occur without our noticing it (e.g., an EJB returns an object to the servlet tier which, when accessed, does a Local lookup back to another EJB component). Is there any way to make Local lookups from the servlet to the EJB container impossible at the configuration level? Or would I have to run the two in separate JVMs to accomplish this? -- Craig Berry Principal Architect and Technical Manager PortBlue (310) 566-7546 ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Perforce Software.
