Anura Gurugé · Auerbach Publications eBooks · 2000
Established, successful financial institutes will invariably discover that they do not have the luxury of time, resources, or latitude to develop brand new systems from scratch just to address the burgeoning Web opportunities. Instead, they will have no choice but to extend their existing, highly proven information systems, replete with mission-critical applications and diverse databases, to incorporate Web-based transactions. Java application servers are rapidly gaining a stellar reputation as very powerful, flexible, strategic, cost-effective, and platform-independent means of synergistically integrating existing information systems with the Web. Java application servers, in essence, enable existing information systems, applications, databases, and processes to be reused in the context of the Web.
