3. Determining the System Configuration (J2EE Application Execution Platform)

This chapter describes the system configuration when building a J2EE application execution platform. Along with the flow of system design, this chapter describes the standard pattern of the system configuration of respective design items. This chapter also describes the components, processes, and the processing flow that need to be identified at the respective points.

For determining the system configuration of a batch application execution platform, see 4. Determining System Configuration (Batch Application Execution Platform).
