As far as writing your EJBs - they should be portable to any EJB compliant
server, be it WebLogic, WebSphere, Sapphire Web, Gemstone/J - whatever. So you
should be able to get any evaluation copy to write and test your EJBs without
worrying about porting your EJBs to a different server.
However, your clients may not be as portable if you are not careful. Each
vendor can implement the JNDI call differently, so if you don't pull your JNDI
properties out into a text file, you'll find yourself rewriting and compiling
your clients based on the server.
This is particularly scary when one EJBean calls (becomes a client of) another
EJBean.
In fact - could anyone help me out with ideas about this? Am I write about just
putting the JNDI properties out in a file that any EJB or client can access in
order to get the initial context necessary to access an EJB? So far I have been
hard coding the JNDI properties into my getInitialContext methods, but that was
just for prototyping and testing.
As far as servers go, I've only tried WebLogic so far and it is working fine.
We are evaluating WebLogic and WebSphere because the vendors seem the most
stable and established and the servers have adequate features. But what are
other people using? Does anyone know what the base server product is going to
be out of the Sun/Netscape alliance? It seems like they have a lot to integrate
before we see something stable from them.
And is J2EE a server? I thought that was just a specification. I confess I
have not done my reading on that yet.

Subject: Weblogic / J2EE - which is better?
Hi All,
I am new to EJB technology.I am unable to decide which application
server to prefer - Weblogic or J2EE or any other else.I need to decide
this before writing any EJBeans because later on I can't afford any
problem.Any body can lead me to the write decision.
with regards,
