  abstract = {Performance and scalability issues in e-business systems are gaining
	in importance as we move from hype and prototypes to real operational
	systems. Typical for this development is also the emergence of standard
	benchmarks of which TPC-W for transactional B2C systems and ECperf
	for performance and scalability measurement of application servers
	are two of the better known examples. In this paper we present an
	experience report with the ECperf benchmark defined by Sun and discuss
	performance issues that we observed in our implementation of the
	benchmark. Some of these issues are related to the specification
	of the benchmark, for which we made suggestions how to correct them
	and others are related to database connectivity, locking patterns,
	and the need for asynchronous processing.},

  abstract = {The J2EE platform provides a variety of options for making business
	data persistent using DBMS technology. However, the integration with
	existing backend database systems has proven to be of crucial importance
	for the scalability and performance of J2EE applications, because
	modern e-business systems are extremely data-intensive. As a result,
	the data access layer, and the link between the application server
	and the database server in particular, are very susceptible to turning
	into a system bottleneck. In this paper we use the ECperf benchmark
	as an example of a realistic application in order to illustrate the
	problems mentioned above and discuss how they could be approached
	and eliminated. In particular, we show how asynchronous, message-based
	processing could be exploited to reduce the load on the DBMS and
	improve system performance, scalability and reliability. Furthermore,
	we discuss the major issues related to the correct use of entity
	beans (the components provided by J2EE for modelling persistent data)
	and present a number of methods to optimize their performance utilizing
	caching mechanisms. We have evaluated the proposed techniques through
	measurements and have documented the performance gains that they
	provide.},
