Hi All,

I am looking for peoples opinions on 2 subjects, I think they are relevant enough to Appfuse and hopefully you agree. A design decision has recently arisen at work that i'm hoping people on this list could help advise me on.

Basically i want to use the Appfuse service and data access layers as part of an application, sitting in front of this, instead of having a web front end, the application would have a socket server interface, in other words, the application would receive messages on this socket, deserialise the information and pass the objects to the service layer for processing.

It is essentially a socket server i suppose. What i am wondering is, has anyone done anything similar? Can you recommend a way to launch this app with Spring, i.e. load the context at start up without having to have an application server such as tomcat/jetty? Probably an executable jar?

Also, it has been argued that the database should expose stored procedures rather than using Hibernate in the way appfuse currently does, i disagreed as i find the way appfuse operates, more maintainable and portable between different databases, but again i would like peoples opinions on Hibernate v Stored Procedures...

If you are still reading, thanks for taking the time, much appreciated.

Thanks

Philip
