Patterns for e-business are a group of proven, reusable assets that can be used to increase the speed of developing and deploying e-business applications. This IBM Redbook focuses on the architecture and implementation of pervasive solutions using currently available IBM products. Part 1 uses the Patterns for e-business to describe the Application and Runtime patterns applicable to pervasive solutions. IBM product mappings are applied to these patterns. Part 2 describes the technologies key to building pervasive solutions. It also describes the IBM development tools for building these solutions. Part 3 consists of eight pervasive scenarios. Each scenario implements an IBM product mapping, and provides design, development, and runtime guidelines for building these scenarios.

This IBM Redbook helps you plan and implement wireless solutions to access backend resources such as databases, application servers, and other legacy applications from wireless devices. This redbook deals with IBM WebSphere Everyplace Connection Manager provided functions to enable businesses to make a smooth transition to the wireless Web. The information provided in this redbook targets Business-to-Employee (B2E) enterprise applications, but most of the scenarios presented apply to Business-to-Consumer (B2C) applications as well. In this redbook, you will find examples and scenarios showing ways to extend your enterprise applications to a broad range of mobile devices such as WAP phones, PDAs, and laptops using wireless and dial-up connections. Enterprise applications that can be accessed include WebSphere Application Server applications, portal applications, WebSphere Everyplace Access, MQ Everyplace, Relational Database Synchronization, and others. In this redbook you will also find sample scenarios showing ways to install and administrate Connection Manager using the Gatekeeper tool to configure support for WAP devices, HTTP services, mobility clients, messaging, clustering, roaming, and the available security features such as authentication, data encryption, and digital certificates. A basic knowledge of wireless and Web technologies is assumed.
