Client-Server-Framework

Question

Hi, I'm looking for a java framework to build a client-server application. There are many out there but what I have seen until now, they are all in the relational db, bean, browser area (these main components are not requiered for me!).

Is there a light framework for a server which just focuses on client sessions, security (authentication, role concept) and communication?

Thanks!

Answer 1

I recommend you use JEE stack (JSF2.0, EJB3.1 and JPA) You only need a JEE aplication server, no any more.

An excellent manual: http://download.oracle.com/javaee/6/tutorial/doc/

Jetty is really, really easy and you can embed it in an existing application. It scales pretty well in the event you decide you do need additional features.
