Application Servers have become the choice technology for companies building Web-based distributed e-business applications. Although this has proven to be successful in a number of areas, many organizations still struggle with several performance bottlenecks. Using IBM WebSphere and Versant enJin provides a framework for a solution that addresses some of these challenges - especially the complex object-oriented models of Enterprise Applications Versant enJin integrates seamlessly with IBM WebSphere and provides the performance and scalability you need to accelerate your e-business transactions.
The integration of Versant enJin with IBM WebSphere can result in upto 50 times improvement in the performance of your e-business application - this is done by elimination of mapping objects to and from the relational world. In addition, enJin also enables you to get your products to the market faster by eradicating the need to know or develop in any language other than Java - no SQL, no JDBC or relational database programming.
Versant enJin is a flexible infrastructure platform that persists Java objects and EJBs within the middle-tier without overloading your existing database systems. enJin gives you J2EE capabilities, combined with a transparent Java object persistence implementation. It gives you the performance and scalability you need to accelerate your e-business transactions across the Internet. Use Versant enJin with IBM WebSphere Application Server to increase system throughput, time-to-market, and transactional response time.
This IBM Redbooks publication is an in-depth guide for implementation of Versant enJin Session Bean Persistence methodology, development and deployment of your J2EE applications using IBM WebSphere Application Server. It describes in detail the benchmarking project that was a joint undertaking with IBM and Versant. In the latter part of the book you will learn about the benchmarking project that was conducted at the IBM Labs in San Jose.
In Part 1 we will describe the familiarize the reader with the methodology used in developing J2EE applications using Versant enJin as well as provide information about enJin that will enable your team to fully understand the components, architecture, benefits and features of enJin.
In Part 2 you will learn how to implement the methodology into developing and deploying a typical J2EE application using IBM WebSphere and enJin. This will be done building and deploying a fully developed typical EJB Application using Session Managed Persistence. This will be done using WebSphere Studio Application Developer. A downloadable JAR file will allow you to run and explore the example rapidly. In presenting this example that we used. You will learn the same methodology that resulted in the performance that we accomplished in the benchmarking project, and you will be able to utilize the same principles for your own example.
In Part 3 we will share with you the details of the benchmarking project that was done - including the methodology, the application architecture, the performance metrics, hardware configuration. The final part of this section is dedicated to share the performance methodology used in the project as well to present the users with the test results and analysis as well as a summary of the project.
