Accelerating Ibm Websphere Application Server Performance With Versant Enjin

Application Servers have become the choice technology for companies building Web-based distributed e-business applications. Although this has proven to be successful in a number of areas, many organizations still struggle with several performance bottlenecks. Using IBM WebSphere and Versant enJin provides a framework for a solution that addresses some of these challenges - especially the complex object-oriented models of Enterprise Applications Versant enJin integrates seamlessly with IBM WebSphere and provides the performance and scalability you need to accelerate your e-business transactions. The integration of Versant enJin with IBM WebSphere can result in upto 50 times improvement in the performance of your e-business application - this is done by elimination of mapping objects to and from the relational world. In addition, enJin also enables you to get your products to the market faster by eradicating the need to know or develop in any language other than Java - no SQL, no JDBC or relational database programming. Versant enJin is a flexible infrastructure platform that persists Java objects and EJBs within the middle-tier without overloading your existing database systems. enJin gives you J2EE capabilities, combined with a transparent Java object persistence implementation. It gives you the performance and scalability you need to accelerate your e-business transactions across the Internet. Use Versant enJin with IBM WebSphere Application Server to increase system throughput, time-to-market, and transactional response time. This IBM Redbooks publication is an in-depth guide for implementation of Versant enJin Session Bean Persistence methodology, development and deployment of your J2EE applications using IBM WebSphere Application Server. It describes in detail the benchmarking project that was a joint undertaking with IBM and Versant. In the latter part of the book you will learn about the benchmarking project that was conducted at the IBM Labs in San Jose. In Part 1 we will describe the familiarize the reader with the methodology used in developing J2EE applications using Versant enJin as well as provide information about enJin that will enable your team to fully understand the components, architecture, benefits and features of enJin. In Part 2 you will learn how to implement the methodology into developing and deploying a typical J2EE application using IBM WebSphere and enJin. This will be done building and deploying a fully developed ty...

Success of an organization is increasingly dependent on its capability to create an environment in order to improve productivity of knowledge work. This book focuses on the concepts, models and technologies that are used to design and implement such an environment. It develops the vision of a modular, yet highly integrated enterprise knowledge infrastructure and presents an idealized architecture replete with current technologies and systems. The most important streams of technological development that are covered in the book are communication, collaboration, document and content management, e-learning, enterprise portals, business process management, information life cycle management, information retrieval and visualization, knowledge management, mobile computing, application and network infrastructure, Semantic Web and social software. It includes learning goals, exercises and case examples that help the reader to easily understand and practice the concepts.

Giving comprehensive, soup-to-nuts coverage of database administration, this guide is written from a platform-independent viewpoint, emphasizing best practices.

Discover WTP, the New End-to-End Toolset for Java-Based Web Development The Eclipse Web Tools Platform (WTP) seamlessly integrates all the tools today’s Java Web developer needs. WTP is both an unprecedented Open Source resource for working developers and a powerful foundation for state-of-the-art commercial products. Eclipse Web Tools Platform offers in-depth descriptions of every tool included in WTP, introducing powerful capabilities never before available in Eclipse. The authors cover the entire Web development process–from defining Web application architectures and development processes through testing and beyond. And if you’re seeking to extend WTP, this book provides an introduction to the platform’s rich APIs. The book also Presents step-by-step coverage of developing persistence, business logic, and presentation tiers with WTP and Java Introduces best practices for multiple styles of Web and Java EE development Demonstrates JDBC database access and configuration Shows how to configure application servers for use with WTP Walks through creating Web service application interfaces Covers automated testing with JUnit and Cactus, and automated builds utilizing Ant, Maven, and CruiseControl Introduces testing and profiling Web applications with the Eclipse Test and Performance Tools Platform (TPTP) project Describes how to extend WTP with new servers, file types, and WSDL extensions Foreword Preface Acknowledgments About the Authors Part I: Getting Started Chapter 1: Introduction Chapter 2: About the Eclipse Web Tools Platform Project Chapter 3: Quick Tour Chapter 4: Setting Up Your Workspace Part II: Java Web Application Development Chapter 5: Web Application Architecture and Design Chapter 6: Organizing Your Development Project Chapter 7: The Presentation Tier Chapter 8: The Business Logic Tier Chapter 9: The Persistence Tier Chapter 10: Web Services Chapter 11: Testing Part III: Extending WTP Chapter 12: Adding New Servers Chapter 13: Supporting New File Types Chapter 14: Creating WSDL Extensions Chapter 15: Customizing Resource Resolution Part IV: Products and Plans Chapter 16: Other Web Tools Based on Eclipse Chapter 17: The Road Ahead Glossary References Index This book is an invaluable resource for every Eclipse and enterprise Java Web developer: both those who use Eclipse to build other Web applications, and those who build Eclipse technologies into their own products.

Drawing lessons from the eFez Project in Morocco, this volume offers practical supporting material to decision makers in developing countries on information and communication technologies for development (ICT4D), specifically e-government implementation. The book documents the eFez Project experience in all of its aspects, presenting the project’s findings and the practical methods developed by the authors (a roadmap, impact assessment framework, design issues, lessons learned and best practices) in their systematic quest to turn eFez’s indigenous experimentations and findings into a formal framework for academics, practitioners and decision makers. The volume also reviews, analyzes and synthesizes the findings of other projects to offer a comparative study of the eFez framework and a number of other e-government frameworks from the growing literature.
