Actually, with annotations and a supportive IDE (NetBeans, and probably Eclipse as well), EJBs aren't too terribly difficult anymore. You don't have to worry about generating stubs and keeping your deployment descriptors in sync anymore, pretty much all you have to do is specify whether you want local and/or remote access. They're not painless, but they are friendlier. That said, I agree that they're too heavyweight for this application. I'd stick with Struts for handling the form submissions, and look into Tomcat's connection pooling if database access is required. This kind of app wouldn't take an experienced web developer more than a couple of days to write, after the requirements were nailed down. It actually sounds like an excellent "extended example" for learning web app development. ----------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------ The information contained in this message is confidential proprietary property of Nelnet, Inc. and its affiliated companies (Nelnet) and is intended for the recipient only.
