Patterns: Connecting Self-Service Applications to the Enterprise

The Patterns for e-business are a group of proven, reusable assets that can be used to increase the speed of developing and deploying Web applications. The pattern discussed in this IBM Redbooks publication, Self-Service::Directly Integrated Single Channel application pattern, covers Web applications needing one or more point-to-point connections with back end applications.

Part 1 of the book guides you through the process of selecting an Application and Runtime pattern. Next, the platform-specific product mappings are identified based upon the selected Runtime pattern.

Part 2 of the book provides a set of guidelines for building your Web application with the enterprise tier using Web services, JCA and JMS. These guidelines include technology options, application design, application development, systems management, and security.

Part 3 of the book teaches you by example how to design and build sample solutions using IBM WebSphere Application Server V4.0 with Web services, JCA and IBM CICS, and JMS and IBM MQSeries.
