How to EJB 3.1 Deployment in Tomcat 5.5.x

Question

I have hosting plan which supports

i) Tomcat - 5.5.xSupport

ii) JDK - 1.6.x Support

iii) JSP/servlet - 2.0 Support

Am I able to deploy EJB 3.1 on this setup? I've heard that Tomcat does not support EJBs, but hopefully there is a workaround. Any advice is appreciated.

That's right, Tomcat is just a servlet container, thus you can deploy servlets and JSPs, but not EJBs. You need an application server like JBoss or Glassfish.

There is also an Apache TomEE project built on top of Tomcat and probably you can embed some lightweight EJB container inside Tomcat.

Apache TomEE was previously the openEJB project if i am not mistaken. You can use the openEJB libraries provided to deploy ejbs on your tomcat instance. More on how to setup can be found at the followinglink:

Yes that is correct. This is what is achieved through Open EJB – dinukadev Nov 18 '12 at 14:49
