Will I be able to have both EJB 2.1 and EJB3 in JBoss 5?

mtedone1 Mar 29, 2007 5:29 PM

I'd like my team to move to EJB3 gradually. We've got tons of apps running in different JBoss services (for now all rigorously EJB 2.1). I'd like the upgrade to proceed gradually, project by project, so that we would have EJB 2.1 and EJB 3 apps living in the same app server.

Is this really possible? Or the marketing tells us it is but then thing won't work?

Yes, it's certainly possible. EJB3 supports home interfaces so they can gradually replace EJB2.1 beans and continue to interact with EJB2.x style beans. Take a look at the EJB3 reference21_30 tutorial that is distributed with EJB3.

Thank you for your reply. Which EJB3 distribution are you referring to precisely? Sun's one (GlassFish) or JBoss? Also my question was related to eventually a passage to JBoss 5. Does this version of JBoss support both EJB3 and EJB 2.1?

Thanks.
