SINCE its introduction more than two years ago, the Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EE), has rapidly established a new model for developing distributed applications.

This model is based on well-defined components that can automatically take advantage of sophisticated platform services. These components can be developed according to standard guidelines, combined into applications, deployed on a variety of compatible server products, and reused for maximum programmer productivity.

This book describes a standard approach to designing multitier enterprise applications with the Java^TM 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition. The book does not contain information on how to use individual J2EE^TM technologies to develop applications, but rather focuses on guidelines
for distributing application functionality across tiers and choosing
among design options within each tier.

This book describes designing Web services using the current technologies available with the Java^TM 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition. This book and the accompanying Java^TM Adventure Builder Reference application (hereafter referred to as
adventure builder) are part of the successful Java BluePrints program
created by Sun Microsystems with the introduction of the J2EE platform.
Application architects, developers, and students everywhere have used
this program to better understand the programming model inherent in the
J2EE platform.

This IBM Redbook provides design guidelines for developing e-business applications based on servlets, JavaServer Pages (JSP) and Enterprise JavaBean (EJB) technologies.

The guidelines are based on WebSphere Application Server Advanced Edition. The redbook describes the concepts of workload balancing through the use of a network dispatcher and clones of the Application Server.
