whitepaper Oracle JHeadstart Overview2006-06-01 Oracle
  Oracle JHeadstart is an extension to Oracle JDeveloper that strongly increases developer productivity in a J2EE environment. By specifying the application metadata, using a simple property editor, and using a powerful generator that assembles reusable user interface components to implement recurring user interface patterns, a person will be able to develop complete and feature-rich transactional web applications very rapidly. The new version of Oracle JHeadstart is fully based on the open standard JavaServer Faces. This white paper provides an overview of Oracle JHeadstart. It explains what it is and describes what a person needs to do to develop an application from scratch using JHeadstart.

whitepaper Managing Business Critical Applications: The Compuware Vantage Approach2006-06-01 IDG (International Data Group)
  This whitepaper compares the productivity of two development teams maintaining and upgrading an identical J2EE application. One team used a Model-Driven Architecture (MDA) approach to J2EE development. The other team used a traditional, code-centric development approach. The original application was a version of the familiar J2EE PetStore application, defined by a rigorous functional specification. The upgrades, which represented a range of typical enhancements, were defined by another rigorous specification. Both specs were reviewed by industry experts. The paper begins with an overview of MDA, its origins, its specifics and the benefits it promises and describes the study itself: the specification and application used, the nature of the two teams and the terms of the study.

whitepaper How to Use Web Analytics for Improving Web Applications2006-05-19 IBM
  As soon as a Web application has been deployed into the production environment, typically by the end of its development, some or all of its features are available to the users. By observing and analyzing the application usage over a certain period of time, it is possible to extract users' behavior patterns. Using these patterns to modify the application increases the chances to best meet users' expectations and thus improve their satisfaction. This paper introduces Web analytics: the context, the main concepts, and the common characteristics of the available tools. Then the paper explains how to exploit these tools to improve various points in the development and the quality assurance of a Web application.

whitepaper The Java Persistence API - A Simpler Programming Model for Entity Persistence2006-05-01 Sun Microsystems
  A major enhancement in Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB) technology is the addition of the new Java Persistence API, which simplifies the entity persistence model and adds capabilities that were not in EJB 2.1 technology. The Java Persistence API deals with the way relational data is mapped to Java objects ("Persistent entities"), the way that these objects are stored in a relational database so that they can be accessed at a later time, and the continued existence of an entity's state even after the application that uses it ends. In addition to simplifying the entity persistence model, the Java Persistence API standardizes object-relational mapping.

whitepaper Update: An Introduction to the Java EE 5 Platform2006-05-01 Sun Microsystems
  With version 5 of the Java Platform, Enterprise Edition (Java EE, formerly referred to as J2EE), development of Java enterprise applications has never been easier or faster. J2EE 1.4, the predecessor to the Java EE 5 platform, has many powerful features. The aim of the Java EE 5 platform design has been to streamline these features and add convenience, improve performance, reduce development time, and help developers get products to market that much sooner.

whitepaper Oracle XML Publisher Enterprise2006-05-01 Oracle
  Oracle XML Publisher Enterprise is Oracle's revolutionary new reporting and document output management solution. XML Publisher offers multiple innovations that substantially lower the total cost of ownership for reporting solutions. Oracle XML Publisher is a new, innovative reporting and output management solution that is designed to lower the total cost of ownership of reporting and document output management. Oracle XML Publisher is "hot pluggable" - meaning it is completely based on open standards. As such it can run on any J2EE compliant application server and can access data from practically any database. This makes XML Publisher fit into any IT environment and protects the investment into legacy systems.

whitepaper Impact of Virtual Memory Managers on Performance of J2EE Applications2006-05-01 University College Dublin
  This paper investigates the impact of Operating System's Virtual Memory Managers (VMMs) on performance of enterprise applications. By taking various popular branches of the Linux kernel and modifying their VMM settings, one can see the effects it introduces on ECPerf J2EE Benchmark. JBoss application server is used to run ECPerf. The tests show that even the change of one parameter in VMM can have significant performance impacts. Performance of various kernel branches is compared. Parameter sensitivity and influence of specific settings are presented.

whitepaper J2EE Server Scalability Through EJB Replication2006-04-27 Association for Computing Machinery
  With the development of Internet-based business, Web applications are becoming increasingly complex. The J2EE specification aims at enabling the design of such web application servers. These servers have to ensure scalability and availability of the supported applications. Scalability can be achieved using replication techniques or partitioning techniques. The aim of this paper is to compare these approaches. In a J2EE web application server, one important component is the EJB tier. In this context, the JOnAS web application server provides an example of EJB replication system called CMI (Cluster Method Invocation). In a first step, this paper presents a performance evaluation of CMI. It then introduces incrementally an alternative scheme based on partitioning and shows the performance benefits compared to CMI.
