Hi,

I think EJB's should handle the business logic part of the app and a standard
web-application the front-end.
That said code the businnes-logic as if it were running without knowing what
frontend could be using it. This results in a (front-end view) black box that
does something. To scale up to EJB you could jst change the inner-workings
of the black-box and the front-end would notice nothing.

Something that works like this is Jyve. It worked (when I looked at it)
with model-1-JSP's and a single backend-class. It took me very little time
to put a model-2 frontend in front of it. And in a second step (to evaluate it)
I threw a Struts frontend to it... The backend never changed. Keeping the
same backend-class-interface it would be possible to use EJB's in the 
backend-class...

hope this helps
Alexander

Subject: scaling up a strurt app to use ejb


Hi

I'm developing a struts app at the moment using Resin as my JSP engine.  I
realise its probably overkill to use EJBs right now.  However, there may
come a time when I need to scale up to a distributed architecture.  My
question is:  how easy/difficult is it to scale my stuts app up to something
that uses EJBs?  I'd like to make the code I'm writing now in a way which
makes it is painless as possible when it comes changing over to a
distributed architecture.

I'd also like to stick with Resin, which I think is a nice product.  How
does Resin's implementation of using distributed object compare with other
products?

Thanks


Peter
