Choice between Servlet and EJB 2004-11-23 - By Ranjeeth kumar
Back
All-
This is the scenario
Application Server : Weblogic
Webserver : Sun One
Security : SiteMinder SSL with LDAP
I have multiple applications (multiple ear's, different weblogic
instances ) running in the environment. There are many places I need
to share the information between the application's, those are mainly
read operations.
First of all I thought of building "stateless session beans" . But I
got stuck up at security. All my authentication is based on LDAP. And
my security doesn't allow every users to view all information across
system. My services can be accessed either from Web or from non-web
environment (Standalone java program).
What I really need is user authentication before accessing the service
which is really difficult with EJB.
Then I thought of Servlet which will talk to business objects and
return the data. Since the servlet is protected under the websecurity,
there is no way user can access it without authentication.
I know the advantages of EJB, but in this case I am performing read
operations, and it is not of high volume.
Did anyone of u handled this type of situation ? your help and advice
will be really appreciated.
Thanks in advance
