Subject: Why GlassFish
Hi,
Just a quick question, I found that Tomcat is quite capable with servlet
application, but lack of EJB support.
Is GlassFish designed to fill the gaps to support EJB application only?
Ha ha... time to have some fun...
They stole Tomcat... and messed it up ;)
On a more serious not (if I can do it)... J2EE is a bit of a confusing
definition... its got a wide scope.
Within that... you have "servlet" containers... like Tomcat... aimed at the
web but are actually capable of just about anything in a POJO designers
hands.
And then you get EJB.... what the hell does it do again... oh yes, it runs
beans, and you have to join AA and find a good therapist ;)
Tomcat can also do beans.... but they have rolled it up into what they call
"biz logic", and tried to add many other tools, like for example they also
plug RMI into it so you can call it from other Java applications, not just
from a browser...
They overlap alot... but they are different tools....
In general... WEB == TOMCAT
And its true that Tomcat is inside Glassfish somewhere... in fact if you
drop a war into the fish... it will probably work... but not the other way
around.
Thats why some people in this group... with doubtful principles... say
things like... something "fishy" going on, or I just like my "pussy" ;)
