I am a student. I want to build an application server for my project. I am looking for the information about application server. Can someone please tell me some resources from where I can get relative material so that I can define the scope of my project. Thank You.
You wanna build an application server!!!?? you sure?? well.. you can download JBoss source code for free, and have a look at it anyway.. just let me know how your project goes!

great job nyways! please understand why clients go in for application servers? in the case of distributed systems like banking, stock trading , cutomer call center etc, there are so many client machines accessing different servers and different databases. so what the companies did was they built their own company specific middlewares to access these servers and dbs , mainly the middlewares offer certain services like networking, security , transaction etc which can be made usse of in a distributed application. but most of their middlewares were failures due to network problems. so they purchased application servers , which offered a lot of middleware services. Cordially urs, Lalitha.S
the middlewares are components within the application servers which provide any specific functionality which can be commanilised between the concerns. for example, pricing component is a piece of logic that implemets a set of interfaces for detrrming the price bills for the goods purcheased. in grocreis they use this componet for computing the cost, in airline reservation they use it to compute the ticket costs, in software companiers theya re used to price the products, like though the end use are different the core functionality is pricing, so certain guidelines are laid out and theyare implemented while designing the componets and then the components are loaded into the server, this becomes a middleware resource offered by an application server. cordially urs, Lalitha.S
