How to EJB 3.1 Deployment in Tomcat 5.5.x

Question

I have hosting plan which supports

i) Tomcat - 5.5.xSupport

ii) JDK - 1.6.x Support

iii) JSP/servlet - 2.0 Support

Am I able to deploy EJB 3.1 on this setup? I've heard that Tomcat does not support EJBs, but hopefully there is a workaround. Any advice is appreciated.

Apache TomEE was previously the openEJB project if i am not mistaken. You can use the openEJB libraries provided to deploy ejbs on your tomcat instance. More on how to setup can be found at the followinglink:
