What’s Next?
After adding JMS capabilities and packaging information to your application programming toolkit, you really do have the tools to build almost any Java enterprise application conceivable. While there is certainly an endless array of variables that will change in your own programming, you should feel confident that you have the knowledge and techniques required to handle those changes. From here, it’s a short ride to handling application front-ends.
In the next chapter, I’ll address that very issue. While this volume does not cover web applications, web services, or other front-end paradigms, I don’t want to leave you without some guidance on where to go from here. Chapter 10 should give you some direction, as well as an impetus to explore more than just the application foundations discussed in this volume. I’ll also include some discussion on why so many of the decisions in this book were made, answer some of those “why?” questions still floating around, and really have you ready to take on enterprise applications.
