Abstract

This paper discusses the infrastructure that IBM is providing to support the World Wide Web and to facilitate Web applications and commerce. This effort started as an architecture called the Network Computing Framework (NCF), and is now the foundation of the IBM WebSphere Application ServerTM. The WebSphere Application Server is a product IBM first delivered in June 1998. In this paper we discuss this architecture and programming model We start with a brief introduction and history of the NCF, then examine the architecture of the WebSphere Application Server. We take a close look at the core run time of the WebSphere Application Server, then delve into the JavaTM programming model that supports this architecture. We also present the reasons why Java is a prominent part of this architecture, and see what relevant technologies Java provides for this run time.
