Moving to J2EE With Weblogic 7

J2EE is the crowning piece of Java technology. It makes distributed computing possible for the Java environment via a suite of Java APIs that work together. J2EE allows Java programmers to create Enterprise Applications that are scalable and fault-tolerant. J2EE is specification that is supported by a variety of application servers, including WebLogic. „Moving to J2EE with WebLogic 7“ gives Java developers an introduction to the J2EE 1.3 technologies through the step-by-step development of an n-tier application. The book details best practices through the use of design patterns, provides clear examples of these patterns, and shows consequences of these design choices via performance analysis. Joe Graf and Chris Sousa leverage their years of experience creating distributed applications for top e-companies to provide a complete application that explains the whys, as well as the hows of n-tier development. While the book expects programmers to be familiar with JSP and servlets, it covers these technologies as well as EJBs, JMS, JAXP, and more, including WebLogic proprietary features. With the base understanding of J2EE in place, „Moving to J2EE with WebLogic 7“ explains how to deploy and configure the application upon WebLogic. During this part of the book, programmers will learn about scalability, availability, and the network architecture to achieve these goals. The book chronicles the deployment of an Enterprise Application, creation of JMS queues, and configuring data sources. The book also shows programmers how to deploy the application into a cluster for high availability and better scalability.
