You may want to look at the visitor pattern as well, both patterns are applicable but one or the other may make more sense based upon your requirements.

Plan to make use of the Business Delegate pattern. In this pattern, your Actions never call your database directly. The Actions should make calls to a helper bean which implements the Business Delegate pattern. This bean will contain all your JDBC code and hide it from the rest of the application. Later, when you make the move to EJB, you only have to change the Business Delegates, not any of your other code.

Yet I want to get involved with EJB's because that is a desired skill to have ($$). So I am developing an app without EJB's. If I do this correctly with Struts I should be able to revisit this app and incorporate EJB's at a later time. This is my plan crawl before you can walk as they say.

I don't plan to use EJBs at the moment, so I guess I will just stick with using Tomcat. -----Original Message----- From: Davidson, Glenn [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, October 09, 2003 1:20 PM To: 'Struts Users Mailing List' Subject: RE: JBoss Bottom Line: If you need to use EJB's and want an open source application server the JBoss/Tomcat bundle works. I am currently using the JBoss/Tomcat Bundle and am having success. As noted below JBoss is only required if you are going use EJB's. If there are no EJB'S you will not require JBoss. I have created many EJB's and have had very little difficulty getting them to work on JBoss. Tomcat is... well it is Tomcat and it works just fine. I have several books on JBoss but none that I'd recommend. If anyone out there has a recommendation for a good JBoss book I'd be interested. Please note that deploying the EJB's on JBoss was a fairly easy operation. (At least it was in my case). I hope this helps and good luck on your project!

In simple terms, think of Tomcat as your servlet container and JBoss as your EJB container.

I am currently reading some docs on JBoss, but I don't have a clear understanding of it yet. I currently use Tomcat as my app server. Does it run over Tomcat? Can anyone recommend some good documentation on what exactly JBoss is?
