"Writing Portable Applications for J2EE" by Pete Heist
Sponsored by Compoze Software
Abstract
J2EE has provided an unprecedented level of portability for server side applications. However, between grey areas in the specification and differences in vendor interpretation there are still several pitfalls which may be encountered when writing applications and components that must deploy on any J2EE application server. This session will explore those pitfalls and offer some pointers, including: – how the InitialContext, home interfaces and database connections can be obtained in a non application server specific way – tips for the persistence of dependent objects and EJB entity beans – understanding ClassLoader behavior
