Ok..you've got me concerned here. I thought EJB was all the rage right now,
which is the big reason everyone is going to it. But, you and some others
have been saying lately that its slow compared to other solutions.
The question is, is it slow only because of network traffic? I mean, we have
a T1 line, which is 1.5Mbps, but our network is 100Mbps, so if everyone is
using 56K modems hitting our site, thus, about 50 people can use our site
via T1 at the exact same moment, how is it being such a bottleneck to the
100Mbps network behind the scenes?
Plus, from what I read, the reason to go to EJB is so you can scale the
hardware and the app server on each machine works together to keep the same
session from the client-side going to the right machine on the EJB tier, and
thus as you scale and add more machines, you can handle more. Is this not
the case now?
Another question arises here. Doesn't the EJB server handle scalability
automatically? Meaning, if I add another machine, is it alot of work to get
a new app server installed and working with an existing one, so that the
requests are divided between the two app servers now?
Thanks.
