Hi, I am about to develop an Network Management System application with JBoss; it's purpose is to manage network elements. I am not very sure what technology to use: JMX or EJB. I am thinking to use JMX MBeans for business logic since I want to map these devices in java objects. These objects should act as remote proxy and should track device changing configuration. My concern is: how JMX MBeans are acting in multi-user environment ? I know that EJB stateless beans have different pooling and cycling mechanism that are important in multi-user environment so I am wondering if it would be better to put business logic in stateless EJB beans . Another approach may be to put EJB beans on top of JMX adaptors (SNMP for instance - I can make trap handling via JMX notification mechanism) - but the same problem can be met in multi-user environment since every EJB method call would use an JMX Mbean to acces the device via SNMP for instance. Many Thanks in advance, Mircea View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3993291#...
