We've acted on your requests by putting together a course survey. This survey will help us provide you with the services that you are looking for, and in the cities that you would like them in. Now is your chance to make a real difference on the future of training courses offered by The Middleware Company. We hope that you will be so kind as to take a few minutes to fill out. Click here to fill out the survey. FEATURED TECHNICAL ARTICLES ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- An Exlusive Look Inside EJB For Architects By Nitin Bharti TheServerSide presents "A Look Inside EJB for Architects", a glimpse into The Middleware Company's most advanced and 'prestigious' course. This series of articles will be your window into a class full of intense discussion on some of the most essential topics pertaining to EJB and J2EE. Coverage comes to you daily from downtown Chicago. The first day of the course kicked off with an impassioned Q&A session on the merits and drawbacks of clustering your J2EE application across multiple servers. Load balancing and failover, using remote local transparency, were established as the two primary benefits while high network traffic was seen as the main drawback. As the class settled down somewhat, the lecture progressed into J2EE Project Management, the value add of EJBs, and a fascinating comparison on when to use entity beans vs session beans and JDBC. At the end of the day, I spoke with the instructor to get an idea of what the essential value add is of the course and what particular skills students can expect to aquire by taking it.

Back to Top NEW BOOK CHAPTERS FOR PUBLIC REVIEW ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- TheServerSide is pleased to announce that it will be hosting a book review process for the upcoming book on Struts, an O'Reilly book by Chuck Cavaness. Chapters from the book will be posted to TSS as they are written for public feedback. An Overview of the Struts Framework First Public Review Posting This chapter will provide an overview of the Struts framework and not attempt to uncover all of the features or in any significant depth. It will emphasize instead, how all of the pieces fit into an MVC and Model 2 architecture. Read/Review the chapter here. Configuring a Struts Application First Public Review Posting The Struts framework uses two separate, but somewhat related types of configuration files, which must be properly configured before an application will function properly. Due to the popularity and flexibility of the self-describing nature of XML, both of these configuration files are based on XML. Read/Review the chapter here. Back to Top NEW J2EE PATTERNS ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- Batch Pattern By Mikael Helbo Kjaer This pattern is a specialization of the SessionFacade pattern developed to further lower the amount of remote calls between a remote client (such as a bunch of servlets ) and the appserver. This pattern is useful only for EJB 2.0 as it makes extensive use of Local interfaces. It also assumes the usage of the Value Object pattern to move data across the network.
