To address new demands in business computing, software vendors are introducing application server toolkits. The concept is to create clusters of low-cost computers that support one specific business area, then connect these clusters to the corporate network. By using the network as the computer, one piece of software can support desktop computing, electronic commerce, and communication with traditional mainframe software. Building Application Servers is a practical guide to application server technology, explaining the theory of network computing and providing practical techniques that use these tools to produce effective business solutions. Rick Leander includes practical examples and program code that use UML, Java, RMI, and JDBC to illustrate design problems and programming techniques. The development framework offered spans a variety of platforms, vendors, and middleware architectures. Software developers who are familiar with traditional client/server technology but want to learn how to move to distributed client/server computing will find this book invaluable.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"...Leander helps you understand the concepts behind the second tier so you can properly manage the process...Leander does an outstanding job walking through the design, from actors to events, and in determining where the objects, methods and attributes lie...the examples are excellent...If you're considering the n-tiered approach and feel a little fuzzy on the concept, or if you want a single practical book on the subject to supplement the more theoretical books and articles found in the technical journals, Building Application Servers is highly recommended." SD Times

    2.0 out of 5 stars Far too defused and general
    Reviewed in the United States on May 11, 2000
    This book assumes too low a level knowledge. As a result a lot of time is spent laying ground work. Everything from OOA/OOD to database technology is covered. For a beginner, this may be appropriate; however, if you are looking for a focused discussion of application servers, look elsewhere.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Application Server under the Hood
    Reviewed in the United States on October 10, 2000
    Two months ago, I bought this book simply because I could not find another book on application server. At first glance, it was a bit superficial and fell short of my expectation since I wanted to find a book on a detailed explanation of all currently available application server technologies. On further reading, I realised that the author wrote the subject from a perspective that I found both refreshing and useful.
    As the name of the book suggests, the author provides you a fair treatment to the under-the-hood knowledge of BUILDING an application server. He gives a high-level description of the considerations that you have to be aware of if you are gonna construct one of your own.
    Let draw an analogy. Of course no one would attempt to build their own DBMS nowadays. However, a fair understanding of the internal workings of DBMS would certainly help you quite a lot in development or tuning.
    For example, armed with this knowlege, you are in a better position to win your technical manager over to the purchase of an object-relation mapping tool as the intricacies and difficulties of constructing the persistence layer in-house certainly cannot make a business case.
    As the application server market is still at its inception, many companies are still at the "proof of concept" state of their corporate technology adoption process. This handy reference clears the mystique in that it provides a vendor-neutral description of what functionality a decent application server should possess. Say, I have never come across a book mentioning time service apart from the "core servies" like concurrency, security, persistence and so on.
    On top of this, the author shares with you the hard-won design experience with application server in context.
    If you think that the author treated the subject in too low a level, he really did to an extent. And this is exactly why I think it is thought-provoking.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A book with no competitors
    Reviewed in the United States on April 21, 2000
    Although application servers have been driving Internet Technology, there were virtually no books on them until now. The software architect will certainly find many things missing, but this book still manages to get at the heart of the matter and to get it well.
