This IBM® Redbooks® publication is a hands-on guide to developing a comprehensive Java™ EE application using WebSphere® Application Server Community Edition v2.1 (WASCE), including core functions, security, Web services, and messaging. Novice users are thus able to experience Java EE, and advance from theoretical knowledge gained by reading introductory material to practical knowledge gained by implementing a real-life application. Experience is one stage in gaining and applying knowledge, but there are additional stages needed to complete the knowledge acquisition cycle. This book also helps in those stages: Before experiencing Java EE, you learn about the base specifications and intellectual knowledge of Java EE through brief descriptions of the theory and through links to other information sources. After experiencing J2EE, you explore advanced Java EE through previews of advanced topics and links to other information sources.

This IBM® Redbooks® publication takes you through the basics of using WebSphere® Application Server Community Edition V2 to run applications. It includes information about planning and installing the Community Edition server, configuring the environment, preparing applications for deployment, and managing deployed applications. This book also contains pointers to information that can help you with more advanced topics and to find updated information on using the Community Edition. The target audience is primarily administrators of Community Edition, but this book is also useful for developers who are packaging and deploying applications to Community Edition.

This IBM® Redbook describes how to use WebSphere® DynaCache to improve the performance of WebSphere Commerce Web sites. Today's Web sites are a demanding mixture of static images surrounded by mini-shopping carts, e-marketing spots, and other eye-catching fragments, all of which change from view to view and user to user. Sites must be richly featured and personalized to attract customers – and they must deliver this content at a high level of performance as well. But the richness and personalization customers want is often the enemy of good Web site performance. DynaCache technology gives Web site developers a robust tool for achieving excellent Web site performance. It can be applied retrospectively to existing Web sites whose performance is not meeting the owning company's requirements. It is even better applied from the beginning of a J2EE™ Web project, and will yield performance gains well beyond those achieved at a comparable cost by adding more hardware or rewriting the solution. This book leads you through an explanation of what caching is, and what is special about caching Web sites. It then describes the capabilities offered by WebSphere DynaCache and how to most effectively make use of those capabilities. The discussion is enhanced by practical examples and tutorials to help you configure DynaCache and implement a sample WebSphere Commerce store. Finally, the book describes how to approach benchmarking for an online store, and how to quantify the effectiveness of a dynamic caching policy on

This IBM Redbook publication can help you plan and perform the migration of your J2EE applications that are developed for WebSphere Application Server Community Edition V1.1.0.1, enabling them to run on WebSphere Application Server V6.1 - Network Deployment. It includes migration strategy considerations for developing portable applications as well as working migration examples. This book discusses some of the most common migration issues that you might encounter when migrating from J2EE platforms to WebSphere Application Server V6.1. In this book, we use two sample applications to demonstrate how to migrate your J2EE applications. We migrate each application using a different approach and different development tools. In one migration, we use Rational Application Developer V7.0 and, in the other, we use the Application Server Toolkit, which comes with WebSphere Application Server V6.1 - Base. We also describe step-by-step how we built and configured our environment for these migration examples. The audience for this book includes administrators and developers that seek a process and instructions for migrating from WebSphere Application Server Community Edition to the WebSphere Application Server Basic and Network Deployment editions.
