Synopsis

The definitive guide to the J2EE Connector Architecture: Sun's breakthrough tool for enterprise application integration!

-- New Java-based techniques for leveraging your existing investments in enterprise applications and platforms!

-- In-depth, example-rich coverage for Java developers.

-- Straight from the creators of the J2EE Connector technology!

For enterprises seeking to streamline their own processes -- or integrate with partners and suppliers -- the #1 challenge is enterprise application integration (EIA). Sun's new Connector Architecture gives Java developers powerful new tools for simplifying EIA. In this definitive book, the creators of the Connector Architecture explain it in detail -- and demonstrate how to make the most of it. The authors introduce the fundamentals of application integration and the J2EE Connector architecture, including the system contracts it defines for connections, transactions, and security. Next, they present in-depth coverage of J2EE resource adapters from the application developer's perspective. Coverage includes: new connection pooling mechanisms; effective use of the J2EE platform's transactional support; techniques for leveraging J2EE security in application integration projects; and much more. The book shows how to use XML data within the J2EE and Connector framework; and concludes by walking through the construction of a working resource adapter, with extensive code examples. Appendices provide a detailed API reference and glossary.

About this title

From the Back Cover

The Java™ 2 Enterprise Edition (J2EE) platform connector architecture is the key component in Java's support for enterprise application integration (EAI) and for linking enterprise information systems (EISs) with Web services. Because many services are now provided through the Web, it is essential that business enterprises have an efficient EAI solution. J2EE™ Connector Architecture and Enterprise Application Integration is the definitive guide to showing enterprise organizations how to incorporate existing enterprise infrastructure and applications, taking them into the Web-enabled economy of the future.

Written for application component developers who are building Connector architecture applications, J2EE™ Connector Architecture and Enterprise Application Integration explains how to connect applications not only to one another but also to a multitude of EISs and legacy systems. This book is also of interest to independent software developers (ISVs) and others who develop resource adapters for specific EISs. Readers will learn how to link underlying infrastructure products with J2EE application server and platform technologies.
