Abstract:
Since its introduction, The Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EE) has achieved remarkable success among application server providers and their customers. More than a dozen leading application server companies have announced J2EE compatible products, and over one million developers have downloaded the J2EE SDK from Sun's J2EE Web site (http://java.sun.com/j2ee). Today, numerous enterprises face the challenge of developing distributed applications. IT professionals deal with a variety of issues: connecting dispersed users with centralized applications, building applications quickly and efficiently, and connecting heterogeneous clients and servers. J2EE in Practice provides ten examples of ways that J2EE technology has helped leading corporations, educational institutions, and government organizations face these challenges and reap significant rewards. Chapters in this book explore how: JCrew enhanced its traditional catalog sales operation using J2EE technology from Art Technology Group (ATG). One of the country's largest mortgage companies, HomeSide Lending, produced innovative online lending services using the BEA WebLogic server. The Borland Application Server enabled AT&T Unisource to respond quickly to demand in long-distance voice traffic routing.
