Untangling Enterprise Java

Enterprise Java Performance: Best Practices

This paper discusses best practices for maximizing the performance of enterprise Java workloads. First, we introduce the importance of performance of enterprise Java applications. We then describe our top-down, datadriven, and closed-loop approach to characterize where the problems are. We examine the performance of the software/hardware stack, first from the system-level perspective (topology,...

Aspects of Enterprise Java Beans

Enterprise Java Beans (EJB), a specification for a Java component framework recently released by Sun Microsystems, immediately attracted attention of several major software vendors, including IBM, Oracle and Sybase. Analysts agree that EJB has a potential to replace CORBA as a standard for enterprise level applications. Aspect Oriented Programming fits naturally into EJB paradigm, but requires ...

Integrating the Java 2 Enterprise Environment with Java Data Objects

Whenever object-oriented applications that use the Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB) environment have to store data in a database, there is a need to combine EJBs with access to persistent data. The current use of entity beans for persistent data storage has a number of weaknesses. Component level inheritance and dynamic querying are not supported appropriately, and the whole approach seems to be over...

The Java Revolution: From Enterprise to Gaming

EVALUATION OF IDE’s FOR JAVA ENTERPRISE APPLICATIONS

In this paper we propose a quantitative model for evaluation and selection of Integrated Development Environments (IDE’s) for Java enterprise applications. Our goal is to determine the extent to which major IDE’s satisfy typical software developer requirements. Our evaluation model is based on the Logic Scoring of Preference (LSP) method for system evaluation. We present an overview of the LSP ...
