Integrating Java Applications With Existing Enterprise Applications 2006-06-07 01:00:26 Sun Microsystems

The J2EE Connector Architecture, part of Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EE) 1.3, specifies a standard architecture for accessing resources in diverse Enterprise Information Systems (EIS). These may include ERP systems such as SAP R/3, mainframe transaction processing systems such as IBM CICS, legacy applications and non-relational database systems. This paper describes the 1.0 version of the Connector Architecture specification at a high level, including: System contracts defined between the J2EE platform-based application server and the EIS resource adapter, providing security, connection pooling, and transaction management facilities; Common Client Interface (CCI) between the EIS resource adapter and application components or tools; Packaging and deployment of resource adapters in an application server environment.

Ensuring Efficient and Secure Call Center Operations Built on Sun 2006-06-02 01:00:29 Sun Microsystems

Tokyo-based Benefit One Inc. provides outsourcing services to corporations in the management of employee benefits programs. The company wanted to efficiently handle rapidly growing call volume, promote standardized skills among call center operators, establish secure environment, establish open-standards application development platform and create cost-effective infrastructure. Sun helped Benefit One build a flexible IT infrastructure for its rapidly growing call center from the ground up. Relying on the J2EE platform and Sun Ray Ultra-Thin Clients, Benefit One has been able to develop applications to improve the skills and efficiency of call center operators, as well as provide a secure and cost-effective infrastructure that can accommodate rapid growth of its call center.

Oracle JHeadstart Overview 2006-07-04 04:05:12 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.

Managing Business Critical Applications: The Compuware Vantage Approach 2006-08-04 01:00:11 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.

Promising the Best of Both Worlds: The Impact and Future of Commercial Open Source 2006-07-24 12:52:49 SugarCRM

Recently, the commercial and open source enterprise software markets are converging at an accelerated pace, offering new benefits for businesses world wide. This paper, authored by technology trend leader Dan Woods, examines the convergence of hybrid commercial open source software business models emerging in today's market place. New trends like try-before-you-buy appeal, new pricing models, and accelerated software development cycles can significantly change how IT departments adopt commercial open source. This white paper gives IT professionals the tools to evaluate commercial open source enterprise solutions based on how the software gets designed, written, marketed, and sold. Sponsored by SugarCRM.

Update: An Introduction to the Java EE 5 Platform 2006-09-27 01:00:21 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.

The Java Persistence API - A Simpler Programming Model for Entity Persistence 2006-09-27 01:00:21 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.

"Hello Ajax"!: How to Do the Ajax Thing With Oracle JDeveloper 2006-10-13 01:00:15 Oracle

For sure, the world's most successful computer program is "Hello world". Translations of it are available in almost every programming language and pattern. "Ajax" stands for Asynchronous javascript and xml and is the heart of the "Web 2.0" paradigm. "Ajax" is a community acronym used by the software industry for a set of related Web browser technologies, which, in combination deliver the rich client user experience for Web applications. The promise of Ajax is to close the usability gap that currently exists between browser based web applications and existing client-server desktop applications. In this paper the reader will learn how to translate "Hello world" into Ajax, going from simple to more advanced in small steps.
