^^ This made me smile :-) I'd say it is better to unlearn REST/JSON! Here is an article that express very well my thoughts on the abuse of REST/JSON: http://www.nurkiewicz.com/2015/07/restful-considered-harmful.html?m=1 EJBs have their own problems but using HTTP for internal/in-process communication is insane. > Or you are thinking you need to expose some coarse grained services via session beans as opposed to having to deal with the fine grained RO that would be the case if you didn't make use of ISIS View objects? > Have you considered using using ISIS View objects (a view over the Domain layer) to achieve a coarse grained RO interface to match the granularity that you need? > Or is it the case that you are required to wrap and use remote EJB invocation to enlist the ISIS based application service in a distributed managed transaction?

We briefly investigated using the RESTful interface, but the HATEOAS (hypertext as the engine of application state) style of interacting with ISIS was a bit more involved than we feel comfortable using as this point in time. > > Is there a way to access ISIS Domain Services via EJB ? > > If someone can point me (and my colleagues) in the right direction, we would be grateful. > > Best Regards, > David Harrison and Ashwin Shimpi > > Environment: > Apache Tomee 1.6.2 and EJB 3 > OpenJDK Java 1.8.0 > Apache ISIS - latest version, 1.8.0 > > >
