OpenEJB -- Open Source EJB Container System
Welcome to OpenEJB!
OpenEJB is an open source, modular, configurable, and extendable EJB Container System and EJB Server.
We are building the hottest EJB container system in the world! Why? Because OpenEJB is whatever you want it to be.
The design is radically different than anything else available today. Everything in
OpenEJB is pluggable, even OpenEJB itself.
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!
EJB Server
OpenEJB comes with fast, lightweight EJB Servers for both Local and Remote
access. That's right, deploy your EJBs into the container system, then just start
the Remote EJB Server from the command line! Or, put OpenEJB in your class path and use it as an
embedded library through the Local EJB Server.
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,
Exolab's OpenCCM, and OpenORB.
OpenEJB is targeted for other middleware platforms including another commercial application server called n3
, the Apache Tomcat server, and Avalon
Phoenix.
