    Hi all

    I'm trying to decide what are the exact benefits of using EJB3 in a project I'm working on.

    Its a jsf project. I'm thinking of just using jpa to connect to the database, but there is a nagging feeling in the back of my head that I need to be using session beans (stateless) from ejb 3, i'm think because of scalability, but I'm not sure why exactly.

    Is it ok to use straight JPA (I'd like to use Tomcat), What are the benefits of using session beans from EJB?

    Cheers

    Putting on an extreme programming hat for a minute I would say if you cannot really justify the more complicated solution go with the easier one at least at first.

    If it becomes clear later that you need to change tack, it should be relatively straightforward to integrate the JPA solution into an EJB3 solution.

    yea I tend to agree with you. I'm not using any of the remote interfaces or whatever they are called now, its been a while since I looked at j2ee.

    I think I'll go with straight JPA.

    Cheers
