 OpenEJB -- Open Source EJB Container System
 |
Welcome to OpenEJB! We are building the hottest EJB container system in the world! The design is radically different, and the performance is wildly faster than anything else available today. If you've got the guts to think differently, and the brains to make a difference, then we dare you to join us. We double dog dare you! What is OpenEJB ? OpenEJB is an open source EJB container system. As a container system, OpenEJB works like a big plug-in for middleware servers like Web servers, CORBA servers, and application servers. By plugging in OpenEJB these servers obtain instant EJB compliance for hosting Enterprise JavaBeans!
OpenEJB is designed for speed and low resource consumption making it a very desirable alternative for middleware providers who want EJB 1.1 compatibility. OpenEJB is already shipping in platforms like Apple Computer's WebObjects and Exolab's OpenCCM. OpenEJB is targeted for other middleware platforms including another commercial application server called n3 , a CORBA ORB, and the Apache Tomcat server. Who is working on OpenEJB ? OpenEJB is the brainchild of Richard Monson-Haefel and David Blevins. Richard is author of Enterprise JavaBeans, 3rd Edition (O'Reilly 2001) and co-author of Java Message Service (O'Reilly 2000). David Blevins is author of 'Understanding J2EE' a forthcoming Addison-Wesley book on the Java 2 Enterprise Edition, and contributing author to the book 'Component-Based Software Engineering' (Addison-Wesley 2001).
