No, tomcat doesn't come with an EJB-container. But you can "plug in" tomcat into an EJB-Container. For instance, tomcat is the Servlet/JSP-Container for jboss (http://www.jboss.org), an open source EJB-Container. And tomcat is the Servlet/JSP-Container for the J2EE reference implementation from sun.
So, you see there is a big difference between an EJB-Container and a Servlet/JSP-Container like tomcat. So, when you use tomcat as a Servlet/JSP-Container for you EJB-Container (ApplicationServer), then you can access EJBs from your servlets and jsps... Hope that helped a bit. cheers pero -----Original Message----- From: Michael Davis [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Saturday, December 15, 2001 5:48 PM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: Re: Is Tomcat considered to be a J2EE implementation? Thanks, I've been using JServ to create servlets for a while, and I thought that the difference between simply using servlets and J2EE was that the latter has an EJB container. If this is true, then does Tomcat come with an EJB container? Or maybe a better question is, can you program EJBs with Tomcat?
