I found this article very interesting, maybe you will too. The title is
"Stop the app server insanity".

> Hi

> I am in the process of totally recreating our website and apart from
the
> layout and design, I am looking into what underlying technology would
be
> best. For dynamic html I have decided I would like to stick to jsp and
> servlets. I also would like to run my webserver on a linux platform. I
> may also use a little perl for legacy stuff, but any new server side
> scripts should be mainly java.

> What I am not so sure about is whether I would go for Apache + tomcat
or
> use j2ee and ejb. The latter seems to be used extensively, but when I
> downloaded it and did the tutorial from Sun (although I am sure the
> technology is very good) I found it to be somewhat cumbersome, with a
> complex process in creating jars, then ears, then adding an interface
> for the client etc. To start using an application, you have to start a
> client service on the server for every .ear package you have written -
> again, perhaps a bit cumbersome and more suitable for very large
> websites where a lot of specific control is needed?
>
> Also: what I am not sure about is whether j2ee uses a full version of
> Apache with Tomcat: if you start j2ee it states is is using apache and
> tomcat, but I can't find any apache nor tomcat files anywhere. Would
it
> be as fast as using Apache with tomcat on their own?
>
> My question is: what are the advantages of j2ee over just using Apache
> with tomcat, as I see j2ee is so widely used. Secondly, can you write
> javabeans easily WITHOUT using j2ee (e.g. just using Apache with
tomcat
> for jsp and servlets, then using the ejb jar package).

with
