There are specific reasons to use J2EE. It doesn't sound like you've got any need to move. It's only people in the Java world who worry about this stuff. People running opensource solutions (mod_python, mod_perl, php, etc...) don't worry about whether their applications need to be supplemented by some "enterprise" rubbish. So my advice is: unless you're implementing highly transactional and distributed components then don't worry about "enterprise java". Of course, you might still be able to use JMS on top of your queuing system. See your queuing supplier. > I can see how using a Session could be a way forward but I'll need to > play with it before the penny drops.

It's just a convieniant marker place for recording the 'transaction'. You could use a class scope Hash in the servlet. However, in Servlet programming Sessions are used quite a lot (and often incorrectly in my opinion) so if you don't know much about them you might want to play with them. > I'm going to go and study these replies again!

I won't be around much longer (I'm retiring from servlet-interest soon) but I'll make an announcement about that soon. -- Nic Ferrier http://www.tapsellferrier.co.uk ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and include in the body of the message "signoff SERVLET-INTEREST".
