Introduction
“Enterprises today need to
extend their reach, reduce
their costs, and lower their
response times”

Introduction to J2EE
Introduction
IT must provide:
• High quality services
– Highly Available
– Secure
– Scalable
• Powerful services
– Useful
– Flexible
– Extensible
• Affordable
4
Introduction to J2EE
The Problem
Difficult Tasks!
Complex software is expensive to:
•
•
•
•
•
produce
purchase
support
maintain
replace
5
Introduction to J2EE
The Problem
Why not delegate components to
different departments?
Departmental solutions are:
• Limited in scope
– Difficult to be aware of enterprisewide requirements and initiatives
• Difficult to leverage
– Diverse interoperabilty standards
6
Introduction to J2EE
The Solution
• Cost and complexity
– Solution: Leverage reusable software components
• Limited scope and impact
– Solution: Provide interfaces that enable enterprise-wide
application development
• Diverse standards
– Solution: Utilize existing standards and software components
• Strength: Leveraged departmental core compentencies
– Strongly defined roles and software interfaces
allow maximum collaboration

What is Java 2 Enterprise Edition?
"The Java 2 platform, Enterprise Edition
reduces the cost and complexity of
developing ... multi-tier services,
resulting in services that can be rapidly
deployed and easily enhanced“

Introduction to J2EE
What is J2EE?
J2EE Provides:
• Enabling technology
• Standards based application model
• A common architecture that provides
key common functionality:
– Security
– Session Management
– Scalability

Introduction to J2EE
What is J2EE?
What does "multi-tier" mean?
• Applications architecture
• Partitioning of application logic
• Improves maintainability
• Simplifies software upgrades and
management
10
Introduction to J2EE
What is J2EE?
What does "multi-tier" mean?
• Enables increased aggregate functionality
• Reduces component maintenance cost
• Separation of workload to improve
scalability and reliability
• Strong separation prevents
vendor lock-in

Introduction to J2EE
Some History
Two tier application ("thin client")
*
client
server
• Easy to upgrade client
• Expensive to scale and to add functionality
*Business Logic

Introduction to J2EE
Some History
Two tier application ("client/server")
client
server
• Strong scalability
• Poor upgradability and difficult management
13
Introduction to J2EE
Today
Three tier application
client
app server
server
• Thin clients make easy upgrades
• Centralized application server management
is easier to manage
• Model allows for horizontal scalability
