In addition, client-side execution is tightly coupled using proprietary app-server extensions. This is especially true when mixing and matching multiple J2EE vendors together (such as a Tomcat servlet container communicating with a WebLogic EJB tier). Standard prot... (more)

Caching information on the WebLogic tier can significantly increase performance and reduce the number of external system calls needed for data retrieval. This is especially true when an application wants to store bits of information that rarely change, such as a list of countries or catalog entries. Nowadays, memory is so cheap that application architectures can benefit from caching data... (more)
