EJB vs POJO (I don't need transactions)

[joeyxxx]

Hello All,
If I'm writing a simple application that just communicates with a WS and I have no need for transactions nor remote clients yet, which is the way to go?
What I care about the most is speed in a clustered environment I don't have a need for distribution yet neither.
Thanks

I think you've answered your question.... Go with POJOs.

Your post is a bit unclear, but by this

What I care about the most is speed in a clustered environment I don't have a need for distribution yet neither.

I assume you mean your primary concern is performance of your application when running on a cluster. In this case you should certainly use EJB3 as it's more performant than POJOs on a cluster (Seam POJOs work fine, but we haven't put time into optimizing this as EJB3 has).
