EJBs could rescue FreeRoller?

Cedric Buest suggests that EJB might be the answer to FreeRoller's scalability problems. Cedric, get BEA to donate an EJB implementation of the Roller persistence tier and a Weblogic server for the FreeRoller site and we'll do some performance tests to see how Hibernate/Roller and EJB/Roller hold up. I'll buy you a beverage no matter who wins.

Cameron Purdy is also talking about FreeRoller performance and even taking a look into the Roller code, which is good, but the problem that he identified was fixed about a month ago and that fix has been applied to FreeRoller. Cameron, please check out the latest code. The session problem you mentioned is fixed and Lance and Min have been making numerous performance fixes, but I'm sure there are other problems lurking.

Mmmh, that's a stretch, I never actually suggested that and it wasn't the point of my post. But if you want to try, between the one year free developer license you get for WebLogic and JBoss, it's pretty easy to give EJB a shot, isn't it? Although if it still doesn't scale and you're using JBoss, it might be their fault and not EJB's :-) By the way, my last name is spelled Beust (don't feel bad, I get that all the time). -- Ced
