OK, Another question along the same line: J2ee or is it j2EE supposedly offers the ability to combine (inter operate) programs (EJBs, I guess) from multiple vendors/suppliers/sources into an enterprise's applications -- not reinventing the wheel. I guess the FexEX shipping charges/tracking module would be a good candidate for an EJB.
Where is there a repository of EJBs or other Java programs that one can access to fulfill this promise od J2ee? I have asked this before, and get answers such as: "EJBs R Us". Is this a real feature or theoretical? TIA Dick On Monday, January 6, 2003, at 09:03 PM, Dave Watts wrote: >> It is a little early to say.
