Java™ CAPS Basics: Implementing Common EAI Patterns

Chapter Thirteen. Scalability and Resilience

Introduction

Some inherent scalability and resilience features are present in the Java EE platform, the Application Servers, the JMS Message Servers, and in the hardware platforms. To take advantage of these inherent features, and add explicit features where they are lacking, scalability and resilience of the solution must be architected into it from inception.

Java CAPS solution components can be distributed over available infrastructure to facilitate scaling. The approach to distribution will vary depending on the extent to which eInsight Business Processes are involved. Business Processes may need to be refactored to support component distribution for scalability. This is discussed in section 13.2 ...
