Re: Struts - extention with EJB

[objectworlds <ob...@netscape.net>]

I assume you mean tomcat as the container and not an EJB container.

I would like a clarification on this point if you don't mind.
I have a book where the author suggests reasons for using EJBs in this case
a Stateless Session Bean for Java Mail.
reasons are
- Security (moving the JAVA MAIL to another machine away from the web 
server). 
- Maintainability  ( i.e hot deploy  EJBs)
-  Performance & Scalability ( application ( web ) servers can be 
clustered and load balanced )

Are you saying that one can simply ignore these points, when using the 
struts framework,
because in  reality the above are simply more hype than fact.
Another words there is no real benefit to be gained by adding an extra 
step of the EJB container with the
Struts Framework.
