Performance Improvement & Scalability


The best approach to improve the performance and scalability is to pre calculate the logic and cache the results.

All computer systems are surviving heavy loads due to caching.
It is best to cache at DB, cache web pages at the reverse proxy and of course let browser cache the javascript , css and images.



The user request may be anticipated and the system execute the logic and store the information in cache.

When a request with matching parameter arrives just serve the information from the cache. This is particularly true for availability searches in the case of hotels, airlines etc.



The one word mantra : CACHE IT.

Using Database login Module in JBoss

This post is a detailed description on how to use the database login module in JBoss with a J2EE Application. Scenario There is a EJB and we want to restrict the access to this ejb's method to an authenticated user having a particular role. The EJB is accessed from a standalone Java Client using Remote Lookup. Implementation The EJB is HelloSSB and the roles allowed are admin and user. First step is to write the EJB The source code is given below. This is a stateless session bean. package com.prem.ejb; import javax.annotation.PreDestroy; import javax.annotation.Resource; import javax.annotation.security.RolesAllowed; import javax.ejb.SessionContext; import javax.ejb.Stateless; import javax.persistence.EntityManager; import javax.persistence.PersistenceContext; import org.jboss.annotation.security.SecurityDomain; @Stateless @SecurityDomain ("helloworld") public class HelloSSB implements HellioIntf{ @PersistenceContext(unitName = "EntApp") EntityManager em; @Reso...

Design Patterns

A note on Design patterns Many times we can see ourselves looking for design patterns to fit the design of a requirement. Of course if the requirement is simple enough to apply any existing design pattern we should do so. This will save us valuable time. In my opinion it is better not to worry about which pattern to apply.But concentrate on the three basic Object oriented principles. 1) Encapsulate what varies 2) Prefer composition over inheritance 3) Program to an interface not to an implementation. If we approach the design with these principles in mind , we don't have to search for patterns. Pattern will emerge itself. Once we apply these principles, we can definitely look whether any of the existing patterns can solve the issue better than the way we thought of. This way our thinking process will improve tremendously and at times we may end up creating a solution which may be better than any available design patterns.

Load Balancing

Why do you need to load balance ? Here i will put forward the various options available for web load balancing. Before we go into that , let us first examine why do we need load balancing after all.Consider you develop a website and is available to the public.If the application is served from a single webserver then there is a high chance that the machine will be overwhelmed if the usage of the application increases. This may result in users experiancing unusually high response times or in worse case the machine can come to a halt.So you need some mechanism to distribute the load across different machines,without the client having to swich address. There are many widely used approaches. The most common ones are DNS based load balancing Software load balancing Hardware load balancing DNS based Load Balancing Here the DNS server is configured in such a way that it returns different IP addresses for various requests to the DNS server for a particular domain name. The DNS server may contai...
