Hi, As far as the question that kicked of this discussion. If you do not need the any of the benefits of EJB then don't use it. However, I would recommend that you separate your data and business layers from your servlets and JSPs. Have them be presentation only. That way you could

You should read up on J2EE so you can understand what separation of data/logic/presentation is all about. I would recommend any of the O'Reilly books on the subject(s). Also Development of EJBs is very simple. Especially with a good IDE like VA, Forte, or JBuilder. Orion even comes with a simple

I would say that using J2EE architecture and EJB is most useful if you don't have specific performance needs. When you don't have leeway on performance you have to bite the bullet and use whatever gives you the performance you need. Obviously EJB2.0 OR mapping is a huge key, this allows the
