Well, here you are, 18 chapters later, with a better understanding of what goes into integrating JSP and JDBC into a working Web site. By now, you should understand that security is a critical consideration when deploying a Web site. You need to consider several types of security: physical, network, and administrative. Hosting off-site reduces several of your security concerns and also might increase your reliability because of factors such as redundant power and network connections. You can spread the load between more than one server by using load balancing, and you can reduce the load by tuning your database properly and using Apache for mundane HTTP requests . You should use SSL to encrypt secure traffic between the server and the client. This is difficult to do under Windows, and because Windows has security issues outside of SSL, you almost always want to deploy these types of solutions under Windows. Running SSL requires a certificate. Getting the certificate from a CA is the major delay in bringing up SSL on a site. A few points are worth repeating before you dash off to implement the Great American Web Site:
All of the technologies used in this book are evolving ”some had active betas ongoing as the book went to press. Keep up with the latest advances ”new features can make the hard stuff easy but can also make what was easy hard. Good luck, and good coding! |
