Sun Java Enterprise System 2005Q4 Documentation Roadmap
To succeed with Sun JavaTM Enterprise System (Java ES), you need to perform a number of tasks, including analyzing your business needs, designing a solution, installing the software, configuring the software, and operating the deployed system. Designing the correct solution for your business is important. Performing the necessary tasks in the correct sequence is also important. To help you succeed, the tasks you must perform are organized in the Java ES solution life cycle.
The Java ES Solution Life Cycle
The Java ES solution life cycle is illustrated in Figure 1. In the life-cycle diagram, there are major categories, such as “Business Analysis,” that are called phases. Within each phase there is a list of tasks, such as “Business requirements.” You follow the phases and tasks of the solution life cycle to design, deploy, and use your own Java ES solution.
Java ES documentation follows the solution life cycle. Each phase and task that appears in Figure 1 is supported by documentation.
Figure 1 Java ES Solution Life Cycle
This Java ES documentation roadmap identifies the documents that support the life-cycle phases and tasks. This documentation roadmap has the following sections:
-
The section Business Analysis lists documents that support business analysis.
-
The section Technical Requirements lists documents that support developing technical requirements.
-
The section Logical Design lists documents that support developing a logical design for a Java ES solution.
-
The section Deployment Design lists documents that support extending your logical design into a deployment design.
-
The section Deployment Implementation lists documents that support implementing your deployment design.
-
The section Operations lists documents that support regular operation of your Java ES solution.
-
The section Java Enterprise System Documentation describes how Java ES documentation is organized at the http://docs.sun.com site.
To use this roadmap, go to the section that describes the life-cycle phase that you are interested in. In that section, you find a list of Java ES documents that support that phase of the life cycle and the tasks that belong to the phase.
