JUnits can be created to test parts of the Web service, but do not provide the overall functionality needed to ensure adequate validation, and make updating data values difficult. There are also many Web service components to be tested that do not find their way into other, more generic testing tools. http://wldj.sys-con.com/read/43814.htmhttp://wldj.sys-con.com/read/43814.htm Thu, 26 Feb 2004 00:00:00 GMT Mercury Interactive's LoadRunner is a leader in the performance-testing market. Its ability to create large volumes of data is legendary, and its ability to monitor the systems being tested provides great value. The J2EE Transaction Breakdown Diagnostics Module, LoadRunner, brings detailed J2EE transaction analysis into the mix. http://wldj.sys-con.com/read/43023.htmhttp://wldj.sys-con.com/read/43023.htm Thu, 06 Nov 2003 00:00:00 GMT Suppose you've developed your suite of applications, standardized to J2EE, and are now awaiting the J2EE benefits for monitoring these applications. You have a consistent series of applications, so adding advanced monitoring capability should be fairly straightforward. http://wldj.sys-con.com/read/43428.htmhttp://wldj.sys-con.com/read/43428.htm Thu, 23 Oct 2003 00:00:00 GMT One of the vital principles of object-oriented programming is inheritance. Although not formally supported by the EJB specification, the need for inheritance in the EJB world has real importance. http://wldj.sys-con.com/read/43001.htmhttp://wldj.sys-con.com/read/43001.htm Fri, 03 Oct 2003 09:09:00 GMT The clues were all right there. An application that had been through intense performance testing was getting regular complaints about its online response times. http://wldj.sys-con.com/read/42959.htmhttp://wldj.sys-con.com/read/42959.htm Thu, 07 Aug 2003 13:09:00 GMT Complex Business Process Management (BPM) solutions involving workflow creation, enterprise resource access, and real business tasks can quickly become unmanageable. The workflows can grow into giant, hard-to-follow decision trees, the developers have difficulty transforming the requirements into actual code, and subprocesses intended to be simplistic become overly complex applications. http://wldj.sys-con.com/read/42944.htmhttp://wldj.sys-con.com/read/42944.htm Tue, 08 Jul 2003 00:00:00 GMT Application performance horror stories exist everywhere. Tales of molasses-like response times, high-risk transactions that periodically and mysteriously slow to a crawl, and search engine combinations that paralyze the browser are common enough that interest in application performance management solutions is at an all-time high. http://wldj.sys-con.com/read/42764.htmhttp://wldj.sys-con.com/read/42764.htm Tue, 27 May 2003 00:00:00 GMT WebLogic Portal 8.1 Beta is out and builds upon the successful and well received WebLogic Portal 7.0. Portal 7.0 dominated industry reviews last year, winning many 'best technology' awards (for example, Best Enterprise Portal Solution in the 17th annual Software & Information Industry Association (SIIA) Codie Awards) as well as recognition as the best portal product. Most important: Java developers loved it. http://wldj.sys-con.com/read/42765.htmhttp://wldj.sys-con.com/read/42765.htm Tue, 27 May 2003 00:00:00 GMT This article demonstrates how to create a gateway class for sending JMS messages generically with WebLogic. This is beneficial for any asynchronous messaging effort, and provides a basis for future JMS development. A generic access path for sending JMS messages is provided. We will also cover setting up a JMS topic within WebLogic 7.0. A sample message-driven bean is provided as well. http://wldj.sys-con.com/read/43208.htmhttp://wldj.sys-con.com/read/43208.htm Tue, 20 May 2003 00:00:00 GMT With every release of the Servlet API new features are added that offer new functionality and provide developers with more flexibility when designing new Web applications. With a changing user base and business requirements, most developers would prefer an easy, cost-effective solution to shape their applications rather than rearchitecting existing applications.
