Object Design and BEA Systems have entered into a strategic technical and marketing relationship. The two companies plan to work together on product integration and joint programmes designed to help customers build enterprise Java applications by leveraging the integration of BEA`s WebLogic Java-based Web application server with Object Design`s ObjectStore.
BEA WebLogic is the only application server written completely in Java. It provides a comprehensive implementation of the Java enterprise standards, including Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB) technology. "Our goal is to provide our customers with a roadmap for building a system that leverages the industry`s best object database and Java application server," says Larry Alston, VP of marketing for Object Design. "We feel there is no better combination for building and deploying enterprise Java applications."
ObjectStore enables developers to store Java objects intact, eliminating the need for relational mapping code. This results in superior time-to-market and performance over relational database solutions. ObjectStore`s caching technology automatically provides every application server with a local data cache that is automatically kept 100% up-to-date and transactionally consistent.
"ObjectStore`s architecture is well suited to our customers who are deploying Java applications across a cluster of BEA WebLogic servers," says Scott Dietzen, chief technology officer for BEA`s WebXpress division. "ObjectStore`s ability to maintain a consistent, in-memory cache on every server results in excellent performance, scalability, and reliability, critical considerations when deploying EJB components."
