  • 0

I’m developing a web service and as being new to the technology, I did a bit of research on the internet on the infrastructure software/technologies needed. Below are my findings and hope to get your precious opinion:

  1. Application Server – Tomcat6
  2. Web service engine – Axis2
  3. Web service implementation – POJO
  4. Accessing Database MySql – JPA (Only 5 simple tables)

Do they look good to you?

I’m thinking of using EJB3 for point3, but there are a lot of people on the internet (and this forum) saying EJB3 is not worth the effort, POJO will do. What’s your view?

Thanks,
Sarah

    Might be worth trying on programmers.stackexchange.com as its not specifically a coding question. For my 2 cents, I’d seriously consider whether you wanted to go down the SOAP route (Axis is SOAP only) or whether you should use REST.

    Tomcat is usually a good choice for a server, as is MySQL for a DB. If you’re going to use JPA, you need to choose a JPA implementation; the obvious one is Hibernate. If you do choose to use REST then I can recommend Jersey, which is Sun’s reference implementation.
