After wrestling with JPA/Hibernate for a bit I'm not seeing all the gain and there are ton of 'gotchas' you have to look out for, so I'm thinking of skipping even using JBoss since I really don't have to use EJBs if I'm using iBATIS, and instead just going to my old faithful Tomcat/iBATIS setup. (The app will be 95% read only. Feeds meta data to the front end gui for display prompts available to the user.) (By the way yes I know you can use OpenEJB inside of Tomcat, but it just seemed easier using a JBoss setup since I'm already familiar with it.)
The app will mostly get hit by about 2K users all at the same time when they login to try to get a list of reports available to them at 3PM. Are there some major performance gains I'll get using JBoss over Tomcat? Tomcat over JBoss? Are there any other issues I should consider before I make the switch? Thanks -- Rick
