e-Marketplace Pattern using WebSphere Commerce Suite, MarketPlace Edition Patterns for e-business Series

The Patterns for e-business are a group of proven, reusable assets that can help speed the process of developing applications. The pattern discussed in this book, Business to Business e-Marketplace Pattern, is an emerging pattern that allows the development of e-Marketplace hub applications which bring multiple buyers and sellers together in a way that provides efficient electronic trading of goods and services. Subsets of the application topologies for the Business to Business e-Marketplace Pattern are used to describe different parts of the full marketplace topology, and they represent increasing levels of complexity, functionality and integration in the topology, ranging from a simple e-Marketplace to a fully integrated e-Marketplace.
Part 1 of the redbook describes the nature of e-Marketplaces and guides you through the process of choosing an application and runtime topology to deliver the desired market functionality.
Part 2 of the redbook provides a set of guidelines for building your e-Marketplace application. These guidelines include discussion of performance, technology options, application design, application development, systems management, and security.
Part 3 of the redbook describes, using the standard sample application, the functions available in WebSphere Commerce Suite, Marketplace Edition for AIX.
