EJB + Tomcat

Hi,

Does Tomcat support EJBs and if not what can be used for deploying EJBs on Tomcat?

Thanks,

Niall

Tomcat is only a web container, not a full J2EE server, so it don't support EJB's deployments, you can use Tomcat + JBoss.

can we use Tomcat for deploying a web application AND get this web application to talk to an EJB application that is deployed to JBoss?

Do you know of any tutorials, examples etc. on how to do this?

Thanks

Niall

The easy way to do this is to use the JBoss distribution that already contains a Tomcat Web Container, you can find it at:

Another way to use EJBs in Tomcat is to use OpenEJB, in fact you can deploy OpenEJB with your EJBs without having to have a separate standalone EJB container. http://openejb.org

Thanks for the OpenEJB mentions in this thread. The stack formerly known as "OpenEJB/Tomcat" morphed into Apache TomEE which is a Java EE 6 certified version of Tomcat. We're pretty excited to give Tomcat users the option to use Java EE features without having to leave Tomcat.
