Example for running in J2EE container

Yes, if you have some examples of Esper running in an EJB container I would be very interested. Our use case is the following: We have an J2EE-based self-service terminal managing system, which gets a lot of events from connected
terminals (500 per second; e.g. ´paper low´, ´terminal out of order´) and we are correlating these events in the server to build up higher-level events. So for us it would be nice to use Esper in conjunction with our framework which is based mostly on stateless session beans and JMS messaging.

Sounds perfect. I think it is very important that Esper is fully J2EE compliant and not specific to any AppServer, so that it can be used in many scenarios and big applications.

No problem in a stateless application using JMS persistence.

An example of SLSBs using the Esper engine instance would be nice.
