Chapter 7. Technology options
These technology option recommendations are guided by the demands of reuse,
flexibility, and interoperability, and subsequently are based on the open industry
standards outlined by Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EE). Many of the
choices continue to evolve and expand as the J2EE specification matures to
include a broader view of the enterprise architecture. These recommendations
are based on the J2EE1.3 specification and parts of the J2EE1.4 specification.
This chapter covers the following topics:
򐂰 How to select the appropriate integration technology
򐂰 XML as a technology for data exchange
򐂰 Web services
򐂰 J2EE Connector Architecture
򐂰 Asynchronous messaging with JMS
򐂰 Message-oriented middleware
