Re: Does jBoss work on iSeries?

[Dieter Bender <dieter.bender@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Joe,

i would not agree with this statement. There are some drawbacks with EJBs, if 
you have other applications sitting on the same database, wich can't use your 
ejb layer, you might come in some trouble and for small applications the 
programmer overhead might be a contra argument.
But you will get more scalability with ejbs than without and you will get some 
benefits for your design.
