Enterprise JavaBeans: The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly

by Hal Hilderbrand

Now that EJB's have had some years behind them, how did they do? We'll look a little bit at my agenda in the EJB 1.0 spec, and my opinions about where EJB hit the mark and where things went a little south. The focus of the discussion will be on EJB scalability and what EJB does and does not do to provide a scalable server platform. Some shameless vendor plugs as I discuss the fundamental J/Server architecture of Oracle 8.i which EJB is overlayed. Also expect some discussion of the pro's and con's of EJB vs. javax.servlet.Servlet model.


Biography: Hal Hilderbrand

Hal has been doing Smalltalk professionally since 1987. In 1993 I formed Polymorphic Software with Steven Harris to sell an Object Oriented Database for Smalltalk called Tensegrity. Hal now works for Oracle as the Technical lead on EJB/CORBA/HTTP/Servlets in the Java Internet Services for the 8.i server where he has been happy ever since.
