This article describes how a federated DBMS, such as DB2® Information Integrator, and Web application server technologies can be combined to provide Java™ developers with new options for integrating data from a variety of sources.

In this article

  • Introduction to key technologies
  • Software architecture involving WebSphere and IBM federated technology
  • Creating a session bean to access federated data
  • Working with federated data and CMP entity beans
  • Creating a CMP entity bean for an existing nickname
  • Creating a CMP entity bean for a new nickname
  • Creating a CMP entity bean spanning multiple data sources
  • Using SQLJ code in CMP entity beans
  • Creating a Web service to access federated data
  • Tips for successful deployment

Overview

This article describes how Java developers can employ federated database management technology to expand the reach of the server-side components they build. Techniques discussed illustrate how Java developers can transparently work with multiple data sources without installing a variety of client software, establishing direct connections to these data sources, or possessing detailed knowledge about the differences between these data sources. With federated database technology, Java developers can create components that join or union data from multiple sources, including container-managed entity Enterprise JavaBeans (EJBs).
