Hi Milan Jagatiya,

Yes you can but i would suggest you to go through Head first series of EJB and even you can go through the sample tutorials which has been provided by jboss

Jboss trailblazer

I hope this would suffice the initial requirement of j2ee with EJB

Cheers !!!11

Well, yes and no.

EJB is part of the Java EE 5 version which is the next version after J2EE 1.4 so Sun changed the name, basically EJB3 is part of J2EE 1.5.

You can have a JSP Servlet in version 1.4 in Tomcat and lookup and use EJB 3s that are deploying in an EJB 3 supported app server.

->can i use sun app server(j2ee 1.5) for both my web component(j2ee 1.4) and ejb3 component?

->and as you told if i deploy my web component in tomcat and ejb3 component in sun app server, how can they communicate?

You should be able to deploy both on Sun's App Server that is Java EE 5 certified, called Glassfish or also in JBoss.

Your Servlets just lookup EJBs just like any other client would.
