Challenges

• Interoperability

• Interface Complexity

• System Evolution

• Scalability

• Reliability

• Cost

9

Current Solutions

• Hide complexity in standard application server architectures– .NET, J2EE, other…

• Technology independent interfaces– XML and Web Services

10

J2EE Architecture

11

Web Container

Servlet Object

HTTP Request

HTTP Response

J2EE Web Container

12

Web Container

• Process HTTP requests (POST/GET)• Route to appropriate servlet object• Route HTML reply back to browser• Servlets

– Java classes– Server side

• JSP– Embedded script inside HTML files– Service Side

13

Web Container Services

• Session Management

• Thread Pools

• Object Life Cycle

EJB Container Services

• Persistence

• Transactions

• Caching

• Clustering

• Security

16

EJB Types

• Entity Beans– Persistent objects with primary keys– Container Managed Persistence (CMP)– Bean Managed Persistence (BMP)

• Session Beans– Stateless– Stateful

• Message Driven Beans (MDB)

Calling Methods on EJBs

Home“ejbs/ejb/MyEjbHome”

1. Lookup the home interface

Code SampleInitialContext ic = new InitialContext();

MyBeanHome home = (MyBeanHome) ic.lookup("java:comp/env/ejb/MyBeanHome")

MyBean b = (MyBean) home.create();

b.foobar();

27

Using Remote Interfaces

• Network overhead for each call

• Separate transaction for each call– Entity beans have inconsistent state– Recovery must be performed at client side– Extra database statements (even for simple

set methods)

• Multiple applications on same server

• Statistical multiplexing over different request types

• Can we provide performance isolation guarantees between different applications?
