4. What is Application Server?
• An application server is a server that hosts APIs to
expose business logic and business processes
for use by third-party applications.
• It provides an n-tier architecture
• Often referred to as an J2EE application Server
5. Application Server flavors?
• WebSphere Application Server and WebSphere
Application Server Community Edition (IBM),
Sybase Enterprise Application Server (Sybase Inc),

(Adobe Systems), Apache Geronimo (Apache
Software Foundation), Oracle OC4J (Oracle
Corporation), Sun Java System Application Server

administration from a command-line interface
32. JBI – A Universal Plug 'n Play Layer
● A standard way to add new
functionality to an existing
platform
● Standard Installation and life
cycle for components
● Standard WSDL based
communication across
components
● Standard deployment model for
all components
● Result of the experience we
had with our own Products:
Integration Server EAI,
SeeBeyond ICAN

> Bob Lee (Guice) heavily involved
• JAX-RS
> RESTful Web Services
> RI developed in // with Spec:
http://jersey.dev.java.net
> Expose POJO as RESTful resources
> High-level declarative programming model
> Flexible typing, runtime does common conversions
> Pluggable types, containers, and resolvers
