Java and EJBs
Java
and EJBs go hand in hand. As a matter of fact, you can't write EJBs
in anything else now; Java is really the only language that meets all of
the requirements.
- It's cross platform.
- It is safe and secure.
- And it uses interfaces and implementations to separate the backend logic from the connection to that logic.
- If you really don't want to use Java...
- You can use CORBA. But CORBA only answers the communication aspect of EJB. There are many more pieces that must be addressed by the developer.
- You can use .NET. But .NET is largely new and unproven. And, to my knowledge, it does not have anything EJB-like. It also ties you to the Microsoft operating system platform.
