Re: Is EBJ architecture suitable for chat-type applications?

[Sesh Kumar Jalagam]

Yes we can use SessionBeans as a component that does the remote calls. and we can make a chat client with it. See the discussions under http://archives.java.sun.com/cgi-bin/wa?A2=ind0004&L=ejb-interest&F=&S=&P=71679   Other possible solution include.     Use JMS implementation( you can get one from inprise visimessage)   In JMS Topic( this is similar to pub-sub under Corba Event Service) would be good start. Each user will have single chatchannel and a user can subscirbe to any number of chatchannels. So Using this architecture we can not only  alow users to send messages but also send other events. A good example would be users sharing a common white board or sharing applications ..etc.,   cheers Sesh
