Web resources for learning

Use this section as a starting point to investigate the technologies used in and by applications that you deploy on the application server.

Service Oriented Architecture resources for learning
Links to online information will help you learn about Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) and related concepts.
Web applications
This page provides a starting point for finding information about Web applications, which are comprised of one or more related files that you can manage as a unit, including HTML files, JavaServer Pages (JSP) files, and servlets.
EJB applications
This page provides a starting point for finding information about enterprise beans. Based on the Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB) specification, enterprise beans are Java components that typically implement the business logic of Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EE) applications as well as access data.
Client applications
This page provides a starting point for finding information about application clients and client applications. Application clients provide a framework on which application code runs, so that your client applications can access information on the application server.
Web services
This page provides a starting point for finding information about Web services. Web services are self-contained, modular applications that can be described, published, located, and invoked over a network. They implement a services oriented architecture (SOA), which supports the connecting or sharing of resources and data in a very flexible and standardized manner. Services are described and organized to support their dynamic, automated discovery and reuse.
Service integration
This page provides a starting point for finding information about service integration. A service integration bus is a form of managed communication that supports service integration through synchronous and asynchronous messaging. A bus consists of interconnecting messaging engines that manage bus resources. The members of a service integration bus are the application servers and clusters on which the messaging engines are defined.
Data access resources
This page provides a starting point for finding information about data access, which includes: Connection management for access to enterprise information systems (EIS), as defined by the J2EE Connector Architecture (JCA) specification; Connection management for data sources, as defined by the Java DataBase Connectivity (JDBC) specification; Other information for establishing an application serving environment in which applications can access data.
Messaging resources
This page provides a starting point for finding information about messaging resources.
Mail, URLs, and other J2EE resources
This page provides a starting point for finding information about resources that are used by applications that are deployed on a Java 2 Platform Enterprise Edition (J2EE)-compliant application server.
Security
This section discusses all aspects of security.
Naming and directory
This page provides a starting point for finding information about naming support. Naming includes both server-side and client-side components. The server-side component is a Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA) naming service (CosNaming). The client-side component is a Java Naming and Directory Interface (JNDI) service provider. JNDI is a core component in the Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EE) programming model.
Object Request Broker (ORB)
This page provides a starting point for finding information about the Object Request Broker (ORB). The product uses an ORB to manage communication between client applications and server applications as well as among product components. These Java 2 Platform Enterprise Edition (J2EE) standard services are relevant to the ORB: Remote Method Invocation/Internet Inter-ORB Protocol (RMI/IIOP) and Java Interface Definition Language (Java IDL).
Transactions
This page provides a starting point for finding information about transaction (JTA) support. Applications running on the server can use transactions to coordinate multiple updates to resources as one unit of work such that all or none of the updates are made permanent.
WebSphere extensions
Use this section as a starting point to investigate the WebSphere programming model extensions for enhancing your application development and deployment.
