Hi,
I'm pretty new to
Java and OO programming. I'm bit comfortable with the basics of Java programming, but still couldn't get hold of OO much
I'm trying to learn the language & concepts by doing some small projects, getting help from the experts here on the way. The project I have decided to give a try is to develop something like this site - JavaRanch Saloon!
So, I will post my ideas here. Hope you will correct me and give nice suggestions on the way.
First things first. What architecture should I select to develop such a site?
I'm thinking of using Java
Servlets &
JSP deployed on a
Tomcat server, with MySQL as the database. Is this good enough? Or should I go for something fancier like EJBs? I don't prefer
EJB for 2 reasons
i) I don't know EJB
ii) With a little knowledge I have, I think, EJB is not suitable for this sort of applications.
Am I getting it right or I'm wrong?
My selection of Tomcat & MySQL are purely because they are open source. You are welcome to give any better alternatives, so that I can learn something from your suggestions. But as for as this project is concerned, I have to stick to Tomcat & MySQL
Please comment on the above points. I will move on to next steps, once we finalize these questions.
Thanks in advance and hope to get many many replies
