Hello all, I just wonder maybe someone can help me... I'm involved in an open source project (http://openuss.sourceforge.net) and using Enhydra 3.01 and JOnAS as the main platform. The goal of this project is also to offer open source EJBs components for university use. This means that all EJBs should be reusable for all other universities. In the future I want to use Enhydra Enterprise so that I don't have to start the JOnAs server seperately. But for now I have to use it separately because I have to bring the first beta in October and I think, until then the Enhydra Enterprise won't be ready yet. My questions are: 1. My plan is using 2 types of client: - HTML with Enhydra XMLC (PO objects connect to EJB container). - Java app directly contact the EJB container. This means I have to implement all of business components as EJBs. Both of clients will only interact with the session beans (facade pattern) as many EJB's books show this. The point is, if I have to connect to the EJB container from internet in the case of Java application, this means I have to open it from the firewall. Is there any mechanism to make all EJBs secure? For example, that I have to login first at one session bean and "only after" this I can create and connect (call the method of EJBs etc.) to other EJBs available? This is actually like the login mechanism of Enhydra PO objects only in EJB manner. Does any of you have idea with this? 2. Is that complicated to port the combination of Enhydra 3.01 and JOnAs to Enhydra Enterprise? Until now I have good experience with Enhydra 3.01 and JOnAs. They both work smoothly.
