Guidelines for Extended Enterprise::Exposed Broker::Product mappings=Web Services

Guidelines

The last step in designing your e-business application is to review the guidelines for how to design, develop, deploy, and manage e-business applications. The guidelines help you customize the solution design, maximize performance, and select platforms on which to deliver the solution.

Some general guidelines that apply for the designs of all solutions are:

  • Pay attention to all components of the solution.
  • Understand in detail the interfaces and flows between the various components.
  • Plan for growth of the design.
  • Use the latest levels of infrastructure and system software.
  • Cache as much as possible.

These guidelines are intended primarily for IT architects and IT specialists but will be of use to anyone designing an e-business application.

These recommendations are based on the J2EE1.3 specification and parts of the J2EE1.4 specification.
