Chapter 6. Technology options
This chapter provides an overview of the Web application technology options you
should consider when building a solution. Given the vast number of products in
the market today, a complete analysis of all options would be out of the scope of
this book. Therefore, our focus will be on IBM technology, and IBM supported
industry standards. The 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.
