Performance BluePrints

Java BluePrints Solutions Catalog Online Version Now Available
The Java BluePrints Solutions Catalog is a new project from the Java BluePrints program that presents BluePrints guidelines in a more modular manner. This early access version covers topics on service-oriented architectures (SOA), Web-tier with JavaServer Faces technology, and business tier with the J2EE 1.4 platform. Each entry in the catalog is presented in a problem-solution format that discusses the key issues in the problem topic and provides various strategies, patterns, and design guidelines for the solution. The catalog also provides the capabilities to browse the source code, and run the relevant sample applications. The catalog topics are available for online viewing at the bpcatalog.dev.java.net project website. The complete catalog bundle is also available for download that includes the online version of the catalog, additional documentation including some UML diagrams, sample applications from the bpcatalog project and a viewer Web-application.
