High-Performance Batch Processing with Java Enterprise Edition
Enterprise software developers and corporate IT architects have established the Java Enterprise Edition (JEE) platform as a leading choice for building enterprise software applications. The platform is widely used for everything from eCommerce Websites to back office data aggregation systems. Its versatility and reliability as an enterprise computing platform is well established. But this wasn't always so. Sun initially trumpeted Java as a desktop platform that would bring rich content to Web applications in the form of Java applets that run locally in a user's Web browser. It was also touted as a thick-client desktop application development tool that would be widely used to build applications that could run on any computer (remember write once, run anywhere?). Sometime in the late nineties, Java application development took a 90 degree turn and ended up resulting in software that mostly runs on corporate servers instead of corporate workstations.
