November 06, 2007 - An article about asynchronous architectures in Java EE is published.
Axmor Software's System Architect Konstantin Plotnikov, in joint-authorship with IBM's Architect Artem Papkov, and IBM's Manager Jim Smith released
an article about the role of asynchronous architectures for Java EE applications on "IBM Developer Works". All conclusions are based on analysis of
the interaction between Web 2.0 and the standard Java EE platform. Constantine describes the challenges of modern web 2.0 applications, and reviews
different currently available approaches for their resolutions. The article explains why asynchronous, event-driven architectures are more
appropriate for Web 2.0 applications.
Web 2.0 applications developed using standard Java™ Platform, Enterprise Edition 5 (Java EE)-based approaches face serious performance and
scalability problems. The reason for this is that many principles that underlie the Java EE platform's design, especially the use of synchronous
APIs, do not meet the requirements of Web 2.0 solutions. This article explains the disparity between the Java EE and Web 2.0 approaches, explores
the benefits of asynchronous designs, and evaluates some solutions for developing asynchronous Web applications with the Java platform.
Read the article "Java EE meets Web 2.0: adopting asynchronous, event-driven architectures to meet the challenges of modern Web applications" right now, and discover a pool of innovative ideas for your business and research.
