Firstly, I'm fully conversant with the numerous reasons why running these two in the same VM might be advantageous, however, I am often asked how these can be run remotely from each other by users and I felt it was time I addressed the question. To do that I need some input from you guys....
I see two ways of achieving this : 1). Heterogeneous clustering - i.e. a cluster in which nodes are not configured identically - web-nodes would lack an ejb container and vice-versa. This looks to be an approach that has so far not undergone much discussion. It might be possible to write Service-Proxies i.e. every JBoss node in the web-tier has an EJB-Service proxy that points to a remote EJB-Service... 2). A web-tier comprised of standalone instances of Jetty. In doing this a user sacrifices all of the integration that has been done for the in-vm deployment (twin hot-deployment of war & ejb-jar, JBossSX integration, ENC support etc)... - perhaps this should be adapted so that it can interface remotely as well as directly... ? Unfortunately, this is currently the simplest advice that I can give to the user. Does anyone favour one over the other ? or have an alternative ? Comments ?
