The Java CAPS / SeeBeyond Integrated Suite Components
 
The Java Composite Application Platform Suite contains the Java integration products and technologies from Sun's acquisition of SeeBeyond, known for its focus on "pragmatic SOA" and for its leadership in ease of use in software development.

Integrated with the SeeBeyond products are several of the essential runtime products from the Sun Java Enterprise System: Application Server, Portal Server, Directory Server, and Access Manager. Java CAPS also includes Sun's mature and award-winning integrated development environments (IDEs): Sun Java Studio Enterprise and Sun Java Studio Creator.

The Suite is built upon J2EE and Web services, and uses a certified J2EE application server, taking advantage of both standard J2EE Connector Architecture (JCA) and Sun's own range of adapters. The Suite uses a single open repository that stores all metadata for the system, including processes, objects, services, applications, and transformations, and it exposes all integration points as web services, with Java or XSLT used for transformations.

 
How Does Java CAPS Help You as a Developer?
In traditional enterprise application development, you are often confronted with "gluing together" individual point solutions, products, and technologies. This typically requires a great deal of expertise and time, and the model is relatively inflexible.

With Java CAPS you get a complete and integrated development environment in which to design, develop, test, and deploy your composite applications. For example, you can quickly develop the presentation layers of your applications, linking both people and services to the identity and access management layer. The Java CAPS architecture fosters the creation of well-defined and reusable services, speeding development and easing the maintenance burden.

The reduction in coding and complexity leads to a general reduction in testing time. And with Java CAPS, your deployment effort is significantly reduced because of the close integration between the development and deployment environments.

What are they saying about Java SE 6?
Monitoring and Managing Java SE 6 Platform Applications
An application seems to run more slowly than it should or more slowly than it did previously, or the application is unresponsive or hangs. You may encounter these situations in production or during development. What is at the root of these problems? Often, the causes -- such as memory leaks, deadlocks, and synchronization issues -- are difficult to diagnose. Version 6 of the Java Platform, Standard Edition (Java SE) provides you with monitoring and management capabilities out of the box to help you diagnose many common Java SE problems.

MYSQL courses training

The rules for Daylight Saving Time in the United States, Mexico, and parts of Canada changed in 2007. When such changes occur, applications that use the old rules become out of date and you may find it necessary to reload the time zone tables to keep the information used by your MySQL server current.

MySQL Case Studies
 
BBC News Website uses MySQL to Monitor Reader Interest:
Millions of people every day visit the BBC News website for their daily fix of world news and analysis. Stories from hundreds of dedicated journalists in all time zones are constantly being fed to the site, which currently attracts 35 million unique users and receives over 800 million page impressions each month.
   
Alcatel-Lucent Uses MySQL Cluster Carrier Grade Edition to Handle over 60 million Subscribers:
Alcatel's legacy HLR system was been based on proprietary database technology. However given the enormous growth in the number of subscribers it became apparent to Alcatel that they needed a new solution. After an extensive evaluation period and numerous performance benchmark tests, Alcatel selected MySQL Cluster Carrier Grade Edition as their database of choice for their next generation HLR solution.
   
Sony Reduces Database Costs with MySQL:
Sony's original Content Management Systems, FileNet, did not satisfy their requirements out of the box. FileNet had to be heavily customized using Microsoft SQL Server and Active Server Pages using external consulting resources.

Since Sony had successfully implemented MySQL in other projects, they began rewriting the Content Management solution based on the LAMP stack. The new project using MySQL and PHP took a single developer only three months to complete!
   
Craigslist Relies on MySQL to Serve Millions of Classified Ads:
craigslist revolutionized the ease and speed with which people could create an online community that would facilitate the exchange of ideas, goods and services. According to Alexa Traffic Rankings, craigslist is one of the Top 100 most trafficked web sites in the world. Every month, craigslist receives 5 million unique visitors, and serves about 1 billion page views.

In less than 4 years, MySQL has enabled craigslist to grow from 250,000 page views to over 27 million page views daily - virtually all of which are generated out of MySQL!
   
Suzuki Drives Sales and Profitability with MySQL:
The Suzuki Sales P.R.O. (Professional Retail Outlet) is an electronic kiosk used at over 600 Suzuki dealerships across the United States. For the first time, prospective customers can build their custom motorcycle in real-time in the dealership. The Suzuki Sales P.R.O. Kiosk relies on MySQL to store all product configurations and pricing details, automatically update dealership product catalogs, enable sales managers to track the performance of their sales staff, and more.

As a result, individual dealership sales have increased up to 35%.
   
Citysearch Saves Over $1 Million Using MySQL:
Citysearch is a leading online local search service, providing the most up-to-date information on businesses, from restaurants and retail, to travel and professional services. The Citysearch web site receives over 10 million unique visitors each month. As a result of an exponentially growing user base, the front end Oracle system could no longer keep up with the traffic coming from the Web site. By implementing replicated MySQL servers to handle the Web traffic and a terabyte of data, Citysearch was able to deliver an extremely high performance solution and save more than $1 million in database licenses and hardware costs.
