Chapter 2, "The Requirements," describes Telco’s business and technical requirements for the deployment.

Chapter 3, "The Architecture," describes the Java ES architecture that Telco developed to meet the business and technical requirements.

Chapter 4, "The Deployment Specifications," describes the detailed technical specifications developed from the deployment architecture.

Chapter 5, "The Installation and Configuration Plan," describes the detailed installation and configuration plan developed from the deployment specifications.

Chapter 6, "Software Installation and Configuration Procedures," describes the detailed procedures for installing and configuring Java ES software on Telco’s network.
