Java Web Application Strategy

This web application strategy is a collection of tactics, architecture and patterns and a few other good practices. The goal is to provide an starting point for projects within the defined scope and try to make the recommendations as easy to adopt as possible.

Scope

We have chosen to limit the scope of this strategy as follows:

• Java Web Applications, the servlet-based kind (something with a web.xml)
• Request/Response oriented web frameworks like Struts2 and SpringMVC (they are widely used, and we know them well)
• An enterprise context (we know it's a sketchy definition, but the solution will have to be cost-effective over a long period, and probably have to comply with a bunch of infrastructure standards, etc.)

Components in the strategy

• Enterprise Maven Infrastructure
• Web Application JigZaw
• Web Application Architecture
• Web application container pull deployment
• Web Application Security
• Web Application Logging
• Agile Mindset and Methodology
