Hey, I was handed down an application to check whether it can be salvaged... I think it is an EJB app once ran on Weblogic and MS SQL Server (jDriver). I'm limited to tomcat and mySQL. Is it possible to "downgrade" in such a way, or will I have to have the enterprise solutions to test this app?
Thanks in advance.
Tom

Tomcat won't run EJB's, so you'd need to get an EJB container.

For that, I'd recommend JBoss, just to see if you can get this app 'up and running'.

To move it to Tomcat, because that's what you're limited to, you're looking at replacing the EJB layer with another 'data access/business logic' layer.

That's either a huge task, or just a small one, depending on the complexity of the EJBs, and how well architected the original app was in the first place, and of course, on the size of the app.

If it's all of 5 EJBs, then it shouldn't take you too long.

Well, I've got Tomcat 5 set up with Apache2 and modjk2, the app doesn't really have a "index", "main", or "default" file or servlet, so I'm going to have to find its starting page. Besides that, it doesn't seem to find all necessary classes when I run the jsps... hopefully once I get by this, it will work, and I hope there are no EJBs.
I'm a newbie, what exactly are EJS? Is it some sort of standard, or use of some addins? How is this different from plain jsp, servlets, beans?
Tnx
