Advanced J2EE platform development; applying integration tier patterns. by Dahlén, Torbjörn and Fritzon Thorbiörn - 2004

Prentice Hall, 2004. Paperback. New Book. Paperback. Java architects Dahlen and Fritzon explain how to properly encapsulate legacy systems and make them usable on the Internet. They describe methods and techniques for standardizing the encapsulation process, making it more efficient. Specifically, they recommend producing an integration tier to shield the J2EE part of an application from the properties and demands of its legacy part, thus making the applications more portable.
