Sun enhances Java with SOA governance
Sun Microsystems recently announced the integration of Java Enterprise Systems (Java ES) and its suite of developer tools within the Solaris OS to provide developers a complete, open and affordable software solution, reports ADTmag.com.
In addition, Sun released the newest version of Java ES (release 4), which now supports Solaris 10 OS, Windows 2000, Linux and HP-UX. Additional support for Windows 2003 is expected within the next 90 days and will ship with all future Java ES releases.
The enhancements made to Java ES address SOA governance with the addition of a new service registry, supporting ebXML and UDDI standards, enabling subscribers to publish, govern and reuse Web services and related data based on two standards, Sun says.
Excelsior JET branded Java compatible
Excelsior, a company that produces optimising compilers and high performance runtime environments, has licensed Java technology and started shipping to customers its fully compatible Java SE platform implementation for desktop and enterprise systems.
The company said in a statement that its implementation of the Java SE platform is certified for 100% compliance with the specification. The company has begun shipping Windows and Linux (IA-32) versions of Excelsior JET 4.0, bearing the Java Compatible logo, to its customers worldwide.
ObjectWeb to develop Java integration platform
ObjectWeb, an international nonprofit consortium of companies and research organisations who have joined forces to produce next-generation open source middleware, announced the creation of Petals, a project targeting the development of an ObjectWeb Java Business Integration (JBI) platform. The project will target highly distributed integration environments with an implementation of JSR208 (JBI) specifications, reports ebizQ.
The Petals services platform extends ObjectWeb ESB initiative with a JBI container as a core element to build standard based integration solutions. Built on top of Celtix, the project adopts a highly distributed integration approach, in which many JBI containers running on different Java Virtual Machines (JVMs) achieve location transparency via a JMS based transport layer.
In a next step, the platform is expected to provide specialised B2B bindings enabling organisations to expand their information systems beyond their physical and business boundaries.
The development team expects to deliver a first JBI platform by the end of the year. A first prototype is available on ObjectWeb`s web site. It embeds JORAM, a message oriented middleware for JMS support. Petals also targets integration with JOnAS, a J2EE 1.4 compliant enterprise application server from ObjectWeb.
