    JBoss AS 6: Alternative to using remote EJB's?

    andersaa

      Hi guys

      We have an application currently deployed on GlassFish 3.0.1. We would like to try it out on JBoss AS 6, but we're using remote EJB's which is not a part of the Java EE 6 Web profile.

       

      I haven't found a lot of info in the release notes, but does JBoss AS6 support remote EJB's? If not, are there any alternative remoting technologies in JBoss that can be used to easily replace the remote EJB's? I have found the JBoss Remoting project but it's a little short on documentation.

          By remote EJBs do you mean, a remote view of an EJB? If yes, then JBoss AS6 does support it (infact even AS5 supports it) http://docs.jboss.org/ejb3/docs/tutorial/1.0.7/html/index.html

            We have a frontend webapp and a backend webapp running on two different Glassfish instances on different machines. The backend has EJB's with remote interfaces, and the frontend accesses these remotely. The remoting config (hostname and port) is done in sun-web.xml in the frontend, otherwise the remoting part is more or less transparent.

             

            Is this setup possible in JBoss too?
