EJB supports transactions spanning rmi calls, Spring doesn't

[ashik]

EJB supports transactions that span remote method calls but Spring does not.

Doesn't it mean that in a truely distributed environment, you dont have any alternative of EJB or CORBA if you are developing in Java?

Or is there any work around for it in Spring?

[Alef Arendsen]

Err, yes... But the question is whether a truely distributed environment (the way you're talking about it) is necessary for 99% of the applications.

Positioning the business-tier on the same level as the web-tier is often not a problem. Calling remote EJBs from a transactional EJB is a use case that's even less frequently seen...

Others might shed more light on this...
