Hi Andrew, Mark, and ALL! The CMP2.x spec allows declaring EJBs as local objects.
The advantage of the local EJB objects is that they don't get serialized/deserialized(I think) and pass-by-reference and not by-value. Effectively, If you use a LocalEJB, you have the flexibitly of making the REMOTE with very few changes to code. People, please correct me if I am wrong.

In the same way acronyms look great on resumes, they also look just super on product brochures. If you use EJBs you can proudly proclaim that your application is "based on J2EE EJB technology"! This is useful for impressing clueless manager types even if EJBs confer no actual technical advantage (and often many disadvantages) to what your trying to do. btw: afaik its not just distributed stuff but also transaction type stuff its good for (but lets face it - most dbs do enough in that regards for most apps transaction needs already) -----Original Message----- From: Mark Galbreath [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, 8 October 2003 19:04 To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: RE: ejb's and tomcat If you are asking these questions, you probably should not be using EJB. The ONLY reason to use EJB is if you are developing a distributed application; anything else is overkill. If you simply need data persistence, use JDBC and use DAO, or one of the persistence frameworks: Ibatus, Hibernate, or Kodo-JDO.
