I use Jboss. It works quite well with struts. EJBs have made my application EASIER and LESS complex for me, but I don't know any SQL or database technologies at all. If you're comfortable with managing your own database widgets, you may be frustrated with how slow J2EE is on your hardware and you may also be frustrated you can't access some of the more advanced functions easily. Performance is an issue as you pay mad overhead for the RMI stuff in J2EE. Much slower than native JDBC. If you can afford to upgrade your hardware, you may benefit.
YMMV, but, I like it. I'm just using struts for presentation.

I've never used EJBs but Struts doesn't need to know about them at all. The actions could talk to a service interface that may be implemented by EJBs or just normal Java classes.

I know this question has probably been asked before, and that biased
publications have had their opinions on it, but I wanted to get some
feedback regarding some "real user experience" regarding the use of EJB
in a web application used along with Struts.
I am creating a web application and I have decided to use struts. The
application needs to be high performance, uses a single database (so it
doesn't have heterogeneous transactional db requirements). I have
designed the application in layers, and it will only have a web
interface. It's starting small, but will grow to have many functions.
Even though I'm confident that I need not invest in EJB's, I don't want
to develop the application to find out I should have used them (hence
why I'm creating this post).
In what scenarios have people found the use of EJB beneficial? When have they been overkill? Does struts integrate smoothly with EJBs?
My fear is that I'll make the application overly complex by implementing
EJBs, but I'd like to hear from people with experience building large
web-only projects with struts.
Thanks,
Aaron
