A couple weeks ago there has been an intense discussion on this list about the use of EJB. Many people were quite critical or at least cautious about EJB. I'd appreciate if some of you could share what alternative component architectures/frameworks you are using.
I'm now starting on a new web project where distribution and transactions, two of EJB's main feature, are no requirements. The application is a web-based collaborative system with a rather complex application logic but little database involvement. There will be clients using HTML/HTTP and other using a SOAP- like protocol. I am planning on using Struts for the Web-tier and am looking for a component framework to implement the business logic/data tier. If feel that EJBs wouldn't be the right technology for this but am wondering what alternatives are. The things I would like to see in such a component framework are: - component life cycle support - support for component relationships - component naming and lookup - authorization mechanism - web request dispatching - subscription/notification service - logging - configuration - persistence - some modularization concept - some error handling concept How are you implementing this? Any framework you can recommend? Thanks for sharing!
