Are Standalone EJB Containers supported by Borland Enterprise Server?
Yes, but. While Standalone EJB Containers are still supported they provide a less rich environment than partitions: • Partitions provide a full J2EE environment, while a standalone EJB container is restricted to EJB. • If your ultimate target is to run in a Borland Enterprise Server but develop in a standalone EJB container you’ll have to migrate to a partition when you “go live”. This could present you with issues late in your development cycle. • Partitions can be managed by the Console, standalone EJB containers cannot. • The Borland Enterprise Server development and deployment tools are geared towards, and integrated with, partitions, not EJB containers. • It is easy to use a JPDA debugger with a partition.
