The following situation exists at a client. They
have a huge database (proprietary) that may only be accessed through an (ansi)C
library. They want to setup a J2EE web application to search and show the
contents of the database. AFIK there are two options, using CORBA or using
JNI. IMHO jni is the best solution for this problem, in which case I would
either have Entity or Session beans using JNI to talk to the database through
the C library.
Is there anyone who has already implemented such a solution?
Any ideas on the best way to implement this? The database access will be
read-only, I´m considering using stateles/statefull beans to obtain the
information
from the database or should I use Entities anyway (BMP). I´ve read someting
about the Connector interface being part of EJB 2.0, could this help me in
any way ?
