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

It provides guidance for analyzing and understanding requirements such as real time, nearly real time and delayed integration and describes how to architect a manageable solution. A sample application will be implemented which focuses on the development of a practical EAI example for developers using WebSphere Business Integration Server Express.

This IBM Redbook describes the new JavaServer Faces (JSF) technology for building Web applications and the WebSphere Studio Application Developer tools supporting it. JSF is based on the Java Specification Request (JSR) 127, of which the first release was finalized in March, 2004. The goal of JSF technology is to provide a complete framework to develop and deploy Web applications easily and rapidly. The framework provides solutions for a variety of tasks found in Web application development, such as user interface design, application navigation and flow, session and object management, validation and error feedback, internationalization, and container portability. This redbook covers all of the core features of JSF Web development and the tools that are available in WebSphere Studio Application Developer 5.1.2 to design, develop, deploy, and test JSF Web applications. Service Data Objects (SDO) is a data programming architecture and API for the Java platform that unifies data programming across data source types, provides robust support for common application patterns, and enables applications, tools, and frameworks to more easily query, view, bind, update, and introspect data.

This IBM Redbook describes the new concept of Web services from various perspectives. It presents the major building blocks Web services rely on. Here, well-defined standards and new concepts are presented and discussed. Whereas these concepts are described vendor-independent, this book also presents IBM's view and illustrates with suitable demonstration applications how Web services can be implemented using IBM's product portfolio, especially WebSphere Application Server Version 5.1 and WebSphere Studio Application Developer Version 5.1.1. This book is a major update to the IBM Redbook Web Services Wizardry with WebSphere Studio Application Developer, SG24-6292, and to WebSphere Version 5 Web Services Handbook, SG24-6891-00. This book is structured in two parts: - Part 1 presents the underlying concepts for the use of Web services: It presents the basic programming model, well-known concepts in an updated way, and new concepts that go beyond the scope of the earlier books. - Part 2 shows how Web services can be implemented using the latest IBM tools. Here we introduce a sample application that is demonstrated in various different ways.

When most people enter their house, they only have to unlock one or two locks on the front door. Imagine, however, if you had to use a key and unlock the door to every room inside the house, every time you wanted to go into another room. Such is the case with many Information Technology (IT) systems these days, which require a multitude of user IDs and passwords for every system and application you want to access. Faced with growing user frustrations, many companies are turning to a single signon (SSO) security system. SSO lets users enter one user ID and password and then have access to an entire system or application. This IBM Redbook is for system administrators who want to understand how to configure an SSO environment between their IBM Lotus Domino and IBM WebSphere applications on the IBM Eserver iSeries server. This environment requires using a Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) server, having a common user registry, and enabling security on both Domino and WebSphere applications. In this redbook, you learn how to configure and use either the Domino HTTP server or the IBM HTTP Server (powered by Apache) to serve both Domino and WebSphere content. For SSO, a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) server is required for common user registry between Domino and WebSphere. This redbook shows you how to use either Domino as the LDAP server or OS/400 Directory Services. Finally this redbook shows you how to enable security on both your Domino application and WebSphere Application Server - Express instance
