Java Application Frameworks

Featuring complete coverage of how to develop an application framework using Java, this text describes the technologies used to build some of the hottest frameworks on the market - Enterprise JavaBeans, CORBA, Servlets, and IBM's San Francisco.

Frameworks provide a common and reusable technology foundation upon which applications can be built, and building on these skeleton frameworks can save programmers a great deal of time and money. These long-term benefits within an organization mean that frameworks have become a 'hot' area in object technology. However, because framework design is so unlike previous forms of IT development, there is a huge learning deficit to be made up. Featuring complete coverage of how to develop an application framework using Java, including how to use Design Patterns and UML to document a framework, this book describes the technologies used to build the hottest frameworks on the market - Enterprise JavaBeans, CORBA, Servlets, and IBM's San Francisco. Furthermore, the author provides a detailed case study involving an international import/export tracking application.
