Looking into EJB w/ Tomcat4.0 - advice?
Hi, I'm looking for a free/open source EJB application server to build upon
my experience with Tomcat (don't want the big guns - weblogic, websphere,
iplanet...). I have been using Tomcat4.0 and Struts to create N tiered web
applications up to this point & would like to explore EJB. Is there an EJB
application server into which I can integrate Tomcat4.0?
- I like that JBoss bundles with Tomcat, but I don't want to revert to
Tomcat 3.2. Also, JBoss doesn't support EJB2.0. Still, could I plug in
Tomcat*4.0* as the servlet container?
- Orion looks to only come with it's own servlet container. Dont think I
want that.
- It looks like the Sun RI bundles tomcat 4.0. Is that to say the Sun RI
application server uses Tomcat4.0 as it's servlet container? If so,
perhaps this the best choice?
Thanks,
Craig

Tomcat 4.0 is just about to be released with jboss and ejb2.0/jboss is
in place.

I committed Tomcat4 support for JBoss a couple of weeks ago. Works for me.

As Rickard mentioned, JBoss has recently added support for Tomcat 4.0
integration.

Wow! Loyalty to Tomcat! :-)
To be fair, Orion's servlet and JSP implementation is quite good.

The J2EE 1.3 reference implementation does indeed embed Tomcat 4.0 code as
its servlet and JSP container.
