Application server articles

An application server (or app server) is a component-based product that resides in the middle-tier of a server centric architecture. It provides middleware services for security, state maintenance, along with data access and persistence. These articles provide a background on application server products and their use. The emphasis in these articles is on using databases for the persistence service layer of  Java™ 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EE™) compliant products. 

New articles will be added regularly. If you would like to be notified when new articles are available, add your name to our mail list.
