Hi, Thanks for everyone who responded, I appreciate all your comments :)
There is no doubt that the support provided by the guys here is second to none, so hats off to them always. However, it is important to dive into facts and figures too. The two key problems that I have had with OpenEJB are configuration and scaling. This is likely due to there not being enough documentation on it. These two problems are very very important. I can’t emphasise this enough. In today's world, the ease of setting up a server side app and the performance and ease of scaling the app are mightily important. At the end of the day, I want to go back to my bosses and say, ‘OpenEJB is simple, all we need is a single configuration file, openejb.json, and a simple install of an OpenEJB.deb file on each of our nodes’. And bang we have a high performant scalable Java EE server. Additional benefits would be that when changing one openejb.json file on one of the nodes, it updates all the other nodes (with the same config file) it knows about. Likewise for a deploy command; you deploy an ejb-jar on one of the nodes and it instantly broadcasts it to all nodes. Is this possible with OpenEJB? Alternatively a nice admin tool to do this would be fantastic, again I’m asking, does this exist? Finally, if there were performance charts to show the number of requests OpenEJB can handle with varying number of nodes would be great! Additionally a guide on fine tuning the config file to set the correct number of threads for the various containers (Stateless, Stateful etc) to be optimised for the node hardware spec would be amazing! The thing with vert.x for example, is that they put scaling at the forefront. Thanks again to everyone, Milo On 9 Jan 2014, at 14:49, Howard W.
