Performance of Enterprise Java Applications is a requirement and usually a challenge. Business requirements on systems can be stiff, successful systems can easily be overloaded and complex application architectures can add a burden too. Improving performance by tuning the application after it has been built seldomly renders huge improvements. By taking a step back – or even two – and regarding the application and the performance from a distance, it becomes possible to really design and architect for performance according to the ISYITF-method: it is staring you in the face. Order of magnitude improvements are attainable through logical reasoning and careful application of multi-tier architecture principles and JEE platform facilities.
