单个应用程序中的SOAP服务和JSF / Icefaces

Question

I've got a JSF/Icefaces Webapplication (mainly a website where you can buy stuff) and I have a Desktopapplication written in C# (where you can use the bought stuff)

But my DesktApp needs to acces the Server via SOAP Services (to retrieve the bought elements)

What would be best practice - SOAP and JSF in one APP, or 2 seperate Applications?

thanks for your help

Answer 1

I'm not sure how would you really benefit from a new application (ie new domain or context)?

I have a similar situation where I use JSF for Web Front and Servlet for web service requests and it works absolutely fine.

If you are using EJB3.0 then you can simply create web services by @WebService annotation on State Beans.
