Mynta's latest goal was to build a system for a leading e-business provider in Sweden. Not only did the customer need a system to keep track of customers, partners, and contracts, but also a system that would process transactional data, such as billing information and invoices. Using J2EE, including BEA Weblogic and Oracle 8i, Mynta began building the system in late summer of 2000. He also adds that J2EE will be one of the leading technologies for enterprise development in the future. Fredriksson says the need for a scheduler was apparent quite early in the project since the corresponding J2EE application server solution was not persistant nor did it handle scheduling with ease.
Many systems have functionality which is best activated on a regular, periodic basis.
Consultant Lars-Fredrik Smedberg and Fredriksson evaluated Flux after finding an article about the Enterprise Job Scheduler on the JavaWorld web site. We can reuse the solution in future projects, thus saving money for our customers. Sims Computing, Inc.
