The Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EE) greatly
simplifies enterprise application development. Off-the-shelf software solutions developed with Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB),
JavaServer Pages (JSP), and Servlet technologies are
designed to work within the component architecture of J2EE. These J2EE software components reduce the time it takes to deliver enterprise
applications to market. The META Group has found that reusable components enable a final product to be delivered 40% faster and lower
the probability of defects.
This page offers a number of resources useful to enterprise application developers who want to deliver
innovative solutions efficiently by leveraging the expertise of their peers.
Where to Find J2EE Components:
ComponentSource
ComponentSource's component marketplace and community offers more than a thousand quality-tested, commercial-grade, "off-the-shelf"
Java components, including Enterprise JavaBeans, so developers are able to speed up their application development and "buy before they
build." As experts in reusable component development since 1995, the company continually builds the supply of "off-the-shelf" Java
components by assisting new component authors to market. ComponentSource's community standard, the Reusable Component Specification
(RCS), forms the component profile of the Rational-led Reusable Asset Specification. Flashline
Flashline's component marketplace is an extensive selection of third-party Java components, available for
immediate purchase and download. The Marketplace offers hundreds of industrial-strength JavaBeans and
Enterprise JavaBeans components from industry-leading vendors worldwide. Why waste valuable time writing code
when an off-the-shelf component can provide the necessary functionality. Java Industry Solutions Marketplace
Find or submit individual components in the Java Industry Solutions Marketplace.
Resources:
Can't find the component you need on the market?
Flashline's Components by Design allows users to post software component specifications online, which are then bid on by registered
developers. ComponentSource's Component Request Center
ComponentSource's Component Request Center is a component request forum that matches open market component demand with supply.
Customers post requests for components that component authors then offer to fulfill. ComponentSource Enterprise Reuse Solution
ComponentSource offers a web services-enabled reuse platform called ComponentSource Enterprise Reuse Solution (ComponentSource ERS),
which accelerates enterprise-scale Java collaboration within organizations and consortia. ComponentSource builds and hosts private
component exchanges to help enterprise customers supply, manage and use components. ComponentSource Java University Course
ComponentSource flagship Java University course "Enterprise JavaBeans Specification: Development
of Reusable Components" is a permanent entry on Sun Microsystems' Java University, and is held at trade conferences throughout the year
to help developers learn how to create commercial-grade EJB components. Want to learn how to write commercial Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB)
technology-based components?
Read the Creating Commercial Components with Enterprise JavaBeans
Technology Based Components technical white paper from the ComponentSource. CBDi Forum
The CBDi Forum provides analysis, commentary and news on web services and the software component marketplace. It also provides an
industry directory of web service and component providers, and a pattern library.
