Building A J2EE App with Linux

Posted by Hemos on from the build-'em-and-run-them dept.

Dejected @Work writes "If you think "Hello World" is always simple and boring try building it with a entity/session EJBs, a servlet, a JSP page, and a HTML home page on Linux. This tutorial shows you how to develop, test, run, and debug a complete J2EE application using Linux and WebSphere(trial download)."

  2. Why not go FULL open source? by FortKnox · · Score: 4, Informative

    And d/l the Java & J2EE SDK, run on Linux with Apache, Jakarta's Tomcat, JBoss, and use an open source DB like postgres or mySQL.

    There are full open source options for J2EE (in fact, I have been toying the idea of making a weblogging program similar to slashcode or scoop with J2EE, under the GPL, of course).

    And as a side note, J2EE on windows, linux, unix, or mac isn't different, you know. Did this article just get approved cause it has a tutorial in linux? The only thing that you'll have to deal with is installing the side software in linux (websphere, essentially).

    Good quote, too many chars. Seriously, the slashdot 120 char limit sucks!
  3. O'Reilly's Book by peterdaly · · Score: 3, Informative

    If you want the learn about the J2EE EJB container services, I highly reccomend O'Reilly's Enterprise JavaBeans (3rd Edition), I have both the second and third additions, and think they are both great.

  4. Re:Linux/J2EE Scalability Problem for Enterprise A by gengee · · Score: 3, Informative

    Unfortunately, you're smoking crack. This is due for the most part to you're narrow-minded view that a high-traffic enterprise app needs to run on one, gigantic server.

    The JVM itself does not scale adequately to serve high-traffic enterprise apps. The locking issues are not w/ Linux - they're with the JVM itself. You'll get nearly linear scaling w/ Sun's JRE going from one to 2 processors. A fair amount less making the jump to 4. After that, you're screwed. The JVM will hang on internal locks, and you'd be lucky to get much performance gain at all. It's certainly true that Sun's JRE implementation runs best on Solaris - imagine that. But if you run under IBM's JRE (Which is already a good bit faster than Sun's), you'll see very little difference.

    Web-applications are perfectly suited to load-balancing. Throw a couple hot/hot $1000 LVS 1u servers in front of your application servers, and you can scale to millions of hits/day.
