6 Chapter 1 Welcome to JRun
Description
Provides enhancements that simplify the development of distributed
components.
Container Managed Persistence (CMP) 2.0 lets developers build
portable applications that are database-independent and free of
database access code.
Introduces a standard, database-independent EJB query language
(EJBQL).
Introduces local interfaces to efficiently invoke an EJB component
residing on the same computer as the calling application.
A part of the EJB 2.0 specification, combines the asynchronous
benefits of the Java Message Service (JMS) with EJB. MDBs are
message listeners that run in the EJB container and can use container
services, such as security and transactions.
Defines a standard architecture that supports integration of J2EE
servers with enterprise information systems, such as Enterprise
Resource Planning (ERP) systems, mainframe transaction processing
systems, and legacy database systems.
Supports several additions to the JSP API, including the following:
Two new tag types, IterationTag and TryCatchFinallyTag.
An XML syntax for JSP pages (JSPX), which makes it easier to
automate the authoring of JSP pages.
A number of enhancements to Tag Library Descriptors (TLD) that
improve portability, and better support authoring tools.
Introduces the following two important new features:
Application events Useful for application initialization code and
can replace preloaded servlets in some cases.
Filters Allow pre- and post-processing of servlet requests.
Supports the latest XML development features, including a pluggable
architecture for adding your choice of XML parser or XSL processor into
the server and overriding the default components that JRun includes.
Lets J2EE application components create, send, receive, and read
messages. It enables distributed communication that is loosely coupled,
reliable, and asynchronous.
Provides a way for a J2EE application to authenticate users and enforce
access controls in a modular fashion.
