  • Extending a J2EE™ Server with Dynamic and Flexible Resource Management
    Extending a J2EE™ Server with Dynamic and Flexible Resource Management 1 1 2 1 Mick Jordan , Grzegorz Czajkowski , Kirill Kouklinski , and Glenn Skinner 1 Sun Microsystems, Inc., 4150 Network Circle, Santa Clara, CA 95054, USA {firstname.lastname}@sun.com 2School of Computer Science, University of Waterloo, Waterloo, ON N2L 3G1, Canada [email protected] Abstract. The Java™ 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EE™) is the standard platform for hosting enterprise applications written in the Java programming language. A single J2EE server can support multiple applications much like a traditional operating system, but performance levels can be difficult to control, due to the absence of resource management facilities in the Java platform. The Resource Management (RM) interface addresses this problem by providing a flexible and extensible framework for managing resources that is applicable across a broad spectrum, from low-level resources like CPU time to higherlevel resources such as database connections. RM has been implemented in the Multi-tasking Virtual Machine (MVM), a scalable operating environment for multiple applications based on the concept of isolated computations. This paper describes the application of MVM and RM to the management of resources in a J2EE Server and shows that application performance can be controlled flexibly and easily with low overhead and minimal intrusion. 1 Introduction The Java™ 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EE™) [1] is the standard server-side environment for developing enterprise applications in the Java programming lan- guage. J2EE is itself layered on the Java™ 2 Platform, Standard Edition (J2SE™) [2]. In many respects the combination of the J2EE and J2SE platforms subsumes the un- derlying operating system (OS).

  • A Transparent Persistence Framework with Architecture Applying Design Patterns
    Issues in Informing Science and Information Technology Volume 4, 2007 PersistF: A Transparent Persistence Framework with Architecture Applying Design Patterns Samir Jusic and Lee Sai Peck Faculty of Computer Science and Information Technology University Malaya, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia [email protected] [email protected] Abstract Persistence is the term used in computer science to describe a capability to store data structures in non-volatile storage such as a file system or a relational database (Wikipedia, 2003). There is a growing need to simplify the interactions among separate systems and to build complex software systems that are made out of components with well-defined services. At the base-level of such complex systems lies a persistence framework – a set of classes tailored to save, retrieve, update and delete objects to and from their persistence stores, such as databases and flat files. This paper presents the design, and implementation of the transparent persistence framework called PersistF. Design patterns (Gamma, Helm, Johnson, & Vlissides, 1995) have been widely accepted in the software engineering community as the recommended approach to developing software. Part of the research effort of this work included the application of well-known design patterns in order to build the framework. We present how consistent application of design patterns allowed us to build a fully working persistence framework. In order to support development of modern complex applications, some recent application devel- opment environments for different programming languages are built in with some kind of persis- tence framework. To use these frameworks in target applications, the developer often must go through a steep learning curve as each framework is specific in some way, but namely in respect of configuring the framework’s runtime engine with enough information about the domain appli- cation.

The book starts off by reviewing core messaging patterns, such as those used in transformation and routing. It then drills down into real-world enterprise integration scenarios using JMS, Web Services, filesystems, email, and more. You'll find an emphasis on testing, along with practical coverage of topics like concurrency, scheduling, system management, and monitoring. Spring Batch in Action is a thorough, in-depth guide to writing efficient batch applications. Starting with the basics, it discusses the best practices of batch jobs along with details of the Spring Batch framework.
