Process Guidance
Updated: The RUP Java Developer's Configuration
The updated RUP Java Developer's Configuration is a straightforward, lightweight process configuration of the Rational Unified Process, specifically customized to address the needs of the J2EE developer. This configuration provides guidance on the essential requirements, software architecture, detailed design, and implementation activities.
J2EE Process Primer
The J2EE process primer shows the use of the Rational Unified Process (RUP) in the context of developing a J2EE application and addresses the intersection of using Rational tools to develop J2EE solutions. Starting with a discussion of Web and J2EE technologies, the reader is walked from requirements through to implementation of an online auction system called PearlCircle Online Auction for J2EE. The primer assumes the reader is familiar with object-oriented techniques and has a working knowledge of the RUP.
Guidelines: J2EE Platform Overview
Part of the RUP J2EE Extension, this RUP Guideline provides a brief introduction to the J2EE platform.
Applying Rational Tools to a Simple J2EE-Based Project
Part 1: Introduction
This multiple-part article works gradually through applying the Rational Unified Process and other Rational tools to a development project on a tight schedule and budget. Part 1 covers high-level planning and requirements solicitation.
Applying Rational Tools to a Simple J2EE-Based Project
Part 2: Starting Up the Project
In this continuation of a multiple-part article that works gradually through applying the Rational Unified Process and other Rational tools, detailed planning of the sample project is discussed along with managing risks and requirements.

Architectural Guidance
XDE Modeling Guidelines for J2EE
This document provides you with a set of guidelines on how to structure an XDE model for a small J2EE project. These guidelines are an ideal place to start when deciding on your project's model structuring. The Pearl Circle Online Auction, available on the Rational Developer Network, is the example on which these guidelines are based. More guidance on structuring models is available in the RUP Java Developers' Process Configuration (RJDC) - also available in the Rational XDE Knowledge Center.
Designing Java 2 Platform Enterprise Edition (J2EE) Applications: J2EE Blueprints Digest
Part of the RUP J2EE Extension , this article provides a digest of the J2EE Blueprints to introduce you to the J2EE progamming model--this will help accelerate your Web development using the J2EE platform.
Designing Enterprise Applications with the Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition
Also part of the RUP J2EE Extension (see either the Downloads or the RUP cafe), this "book" describes a standard approach to designing multi-tier enterprise applications with the Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition.
PearlCircle: An Online Auction Application for J2EE
PearlCircle is a comprehensive reference application based on a framework and patterns and demonstrates applying Rational Rose in a J2EE project. You can use it as the basis for a new application or as a source of reusable architecture.

Implementation Guidance
GoF/Java Patterns in Rational XDE: Introduction
This article introduces the Java-language implementation of the Gang of Four patterns that come preinstalled in Rational XDE Professional v2002: Java Platform Edition. These patterns can be used to solve a wide range of design and software engineering problems. New patterns added: March 7, 2002.
First Encounters with Rational XDE Professional
Part 1: Introduction
A developer shares his early observations of Rational's new integrated modeling and development environment, Rational XDE Professional v2002 — Java Platform Edition. He compares XDE to Rational Rose and introduces XDE's key features.
First Encounters with Rational XDE Professional
Part 2: A Simple Application
Having introduced the Java edition of Rational XDE Professional v2002 in an earlier article, Steven Franklin describes how he set up XDE to suit his personal style and then used it to design and develop a simple client/server application.
First Encounters with Rational XDE Professional
Part 3: A J2EE Web Application
Moving on from early experimenting to a more realistic use of Rational XDE Professional v2002 -- Java Platform Edition, the author focuses on J2EE development, prototyping a simple JSP/servlet application deployed to a WebLogic application server.
First Encounters with Rational XDE Professional
Part 4: Migration to XDE
This article discusses why and how to move from an existing code base and a different design tool to the Java edition of Rational XDE Professional v2002. It covers process improvements likely to result from migrating to XDE and gives two example scenarios.

Testing Guidance
Developing and Testing a Model View Controller Application in IBM’s VisualAge for Java
This article by Dave Bigelow steps through how MVC applications are created, starting with an object model in Rational Rose, and then transitioning to coding and testing the Servlet-driven application using VisualAge for Java.
Testing J2EE Applications with Rational PurifyPlus
In this Rational Edge article, the author presents a proven and efficient way of using PurifyPlus to test JavaServerPages (JSPs) and Java servlet applications running in Apache Jakarta Tomcat, Version 4. Similar workarounds can be applied for the commercial Java application servers.
