Pro (IBM) WebSphere Application Server 7 Internals covers the internal architecture and implementation of the WebSphere Application Server (WAS) version 7 product set and how other IBM products extend it. It presents information to enable administrators, developers, and architects to learn about the aspects of WAS that apply to them:

• Administrators will come to understand how the WAS7 environment functions to best optimize it for their environment, and what to do when things go wrong.
• Developers will learn to extend the functionality in the base WAS product.
• Architects will see how the WAS product underpins the IBM offerings to fit in an enterprise.
