Jetty 8 + EJB 3.1 + JTA + CDI + JPA 2 stack?

Question

Can anyone tell me if it is currently possible to \"glue together\" a partial Java EE 6 Web Profile over Jetty? I\'ve found a lot of articles about integrating standalone E

Answer 1

Tomcat has that stack implemented in a server called TomEE(formerly TomTom).

These are the components it uses.

Connector    Apache Geronimo Connector
CDI  Apache OpenWebBeans
EJB  Apache OpenEJB
Javamail     Apache Geronimo JavaMail
JPA  Apache OpenJPA
JSF  Apache MyFaces
JSP  Apache Tomcat
JSTL     Apache Tomcat
JTA  Apache Geronimo Transaction
Servlet  Apache Tomcat

As far as Jetty I'm not sure. OpenEJB is your only option for EJB outside of a JavaEE6 container(AFAIK) and I'm not sure Jetty is 100% tested with this. For CDI you can always use something like Seam.

In my opinion I believe the Spring framework would be your best option for the Jetty container(that's just my opinion though). In my experience after trying to get Tomcat working with Open EJB, Spring is a lot easier to set up.

You also have to remember Open EJB doesn't implement the entire EJB 3.1 stack at this point.

Also Open EJB is not tested on Tomcat 7 either. So you have to stay with Tomcat 6 if you go that route.
