Persistence in the Enterprise

A Guide to Persistence Technologies

Persistence in the Enterprise is a unique, up-to-date, and objective guide to building the persistence layers of enterprise applications. Drawing on their extensive experience, five leading IBM® Web development experts carefully review the issues and trade offs associated with persistence in large-scale, business-critical applications.

Overview

The authors offer a pragmatic, consistent comparison of each leading framework--both proprietary and open source. Writing for IT managers, architects, administrators, developers, and testers, the authors address a broad spectrum of issues, ranging from coding complexity and flexibility to scalability and licensing. In addition, they demonstrate each framework side by side, via a common example application. With their guidance, you’ll learn how to define your persistence requirements, choose the most appropriate solutions, and build systems that maximize both performance and value.

Here are links from the developerWorks Series book Persistence in the Enterprise (ISBN-10: 0-13-158756-0) to developerWorks Web site resources that support and extend the book.
