Java Stand-alone Applications on z/OS, Volume I
by Alex Louwe-Kooijmans, Paul Anderson, Kenichi Yoshimura, Linfeng Yu
Overview
This IBM Redbooks publication is about using Java on z/OS to
develop, deploy, and run stand-alone and batch applications.
Java has certainly become the most popular programming language,
and it is the language of choice for many enterprise applications
today.
This is the result of many advancements in the language itself as
well as related technologies and tools that enable users to develop
and run cost-effective, scalable, high-performance solutions.
IBM System z servers provide comprehensive support for deploying
Java applications while providing the traditional quality of
service, advanced security, and scalability that users have come to
expect from this server family. IBM System zApplication Assist
Processors (zAAP) further enhance the ability of an enterprise to
implement complex and heavy workload applications on System z in a
cost-effective and reliable manner.
There are many technical and business-oriented documents that
describe the value of running J2EE applications on System z using
WebSphere Application Server. However, less attention has been
given to running stand-alone Java applications. This book shows how
Java can leverage the power of IBM System z to run stand-alone and
batch applications.
This book is a technical guideline for Java application developers
who do not have prior experience with the System z operating
environment, as well as System z operators who are new to the world
of Java because of the inevitable transition occurring in the IT
industry.
Chapters in this book are designed to be self-contained so that
they can be read in any order.
