I still remember the day I first evaluated Enterprise Java Beans (EJB). It was in late 1998 and we were considering switching to Weblogic to take advantage of an already existing application server to host our business logic. This was the first implementation of EJB 1.0 that we were introduced to. In 1999 I started to use Tomcat as an alternate application platform. By 2001 I was using it so much that I contributed enough to become a committer on the project itself and since then I have never looked back. In retrospect it has been interesting to evaluate the reasoning behind, and the outcome of, that decision.
