JMX. The Java™ EE 5 Tutorial. The J2EE 1.4 Tutorial. J2EE Without the Application Server. By Guy Pardon 02/08/2006 J2EE-based applications have become very successful in the enterprise market, despite the notorious complexity of both the J2EE platform (the application server) and its proposed programming model (Enterprise JavaBeans, or EJB).
Thanks to modern notions like inversion-of-control (IoC) and aspect-oriented programming (AOP) represented in lightweight containers like the Spring framework, the programming model for J2EE can be made a lot simpler and more elegant. Nevertheless, even with these tools, the application server still remains an important source of complexity and cost. This article proposes a further simplification of J2EE, by showing a way to eliminate the overhead of the runtime platform: the application server. Mule MQ - mulesoft.org. JSFUnit. Java EE 5 SDK.
