The discussion will center around the design guidelines and approaches used to create the ‘NAVgator’ (a financial trading application) in order to permit multiple device access to the applicaion. A discussion of MVC Model 2 architecture will be presented along with a great deal of JSP/Servlet/EJB/XSL code as well as how to integrate XML and XSL in your current J2EE environment.
