Distributed Deployment for components

Question

We are designing a typical distributed web application using the struts framework and ejb.
The flow designed is as below :
StrutsController --> ActionForm --> Action --> Business Delegate (Uses Service Locator) --> Session Facade --> ....
Details :
The deployment can be at different machines for web tier and for application tier.
The query is whether business delegate component should be part of client jar file or it should be part of server jar file.
I think, business delegate and service locator will be part of client jar file as business delegate is used inside the Struts Action class execute() method. And service locator will be used by busiess delegate to get the session facade.
If service locator component is required at session facade also then should we keep service locator component in server jar also?
Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

I think, business delegate and service locator will be
part of client jar file as business delegate is used
inside the Struts Action class execute() method. And
service locator will be used by busiess delegate to
get the session facade.did the same thing (exactly ;)), both files should be in client.jar
If service locator component is required at session
facade also then should we keep service locator
component in server jar also?yes. if u look up the home references of other session beans or entity beans (marked as ejb-references in the dd) than u can and should use the service locator.
