EJB or RMI Server

[kastis]

Can I make connection to EJB or Java RMI server from Laszlo?

thanks

At the moment, you'd need to write a JSP/servlet that communicates with your EJB/RMI back-ends and produces XML for consumption by the Laszlo application.

In a future release, connectivity to java code will be much improved/simplified.

We are currently looking for active developers interested in providing feedback on a beta release or the LPS that enables contains this new feature.

Apologies for the late reply!

You can also do it with Web Services or other technologies that speak in XML like Apache Cocoon.

Count me in on the beta testing! :)

I'd like to help out as well. I am one of those people who knows a little bit about everything, but the majority is web design. When I found MM Flex, I started getting interested, but scared at the 12k pricetag. Then I found Laszlo.

I would like to directly access db's from the app, but it doesn't sound like this is a possibility yet, right? I've written plenty of JSP's, but I have always gotten the servlet code from someone else, so I am not sure what I would need to write for the servlet. (this was also 2.5 years ago ;)

Thx,

I am very interested in helping out with EJB connectivity.

I have a small team of people who are very interested in getting the EJB connectivity up and running.

In the meantime, it would be really great to discuss ways to get some push behavior back to the client. For example, in a shopping cart example, what if the user leaves the browser open and all the prices are out of date?

I would like to be able to push / pick up events from JBoss in an efficient manner.

If the Lazzlo EJB features could subscribe to a message bean, it could trigger the client to make an update.

Maybe, the other opportunity here is to create a good design pattern document which includes the proposed methods for EJB direct access.
