BEA and interface21 Announce Spring-based Java EE 5May 23, 2006; 05:14 AM Interface21 and BEA worked together to use Spring 2.0 as a foundation for several key Java EE 5 components, specifically the Java EE 5 Common Annotations (JSR-250), which includes resource injection and EJB 3 (JSR-220) interception. The announcements highlight BEA's
commitment to its "blended" approach to open source, a strategy that is
designed to let developers mix and match the best of both open source
and commercial solutions while maintaining a seamless platform for
teams to develop, deploy and manage their applications and Web
services. This approach can provide developers with a high productivity
environment -- the right tools, frameworks and runtime for the job.
"At last year's JavaOne, we introduced our blended development and
deployment strategy, bringing the best of open source and commercial
software to our customer base," said Peter Cooper Ellis, executive vice
president, WebLogic Server Business Unit. "As a leader in the
application framework space, the Spring Framework is an important
component of our blended strategy. The latest generation of Spring 2.0
introduces a new level of simplicity and productivity for developers,
designed to allow Spring and Java EE 5 to work seamlessly together."
The innovative joint project can help developers to use core elements
of the Java EE 5 programming model within the Spring container. In
addition, the recently released technical preview of WebLogic Server
uses this code to deliver its Java EE 5 solutions. WebLogic Server
customers can use the technical preview to see how they can extend
their Java EE 5 applications with more advanced Spring functionality,
blending the latest standards-based enterprise Java code with the
simplicity and power of Spring. And Spring Framework customers can take
advantage of important JavaEE 5 standard features in their development.
"We are very pleased to be working with the WebLogic team to bring the
highest quality software to our combined customer base," said Rod
Johnson, founder of the Spring Framework and CEO of Interface21. "With
the contribution of core WebLogic Server engineering talent to this
project and the recent donation of Open JPA, BEA is demonstrating deep
commitment to open source strategies and their customers' way of
working. With these actions, BEA has again shown its leading role in
enterprise Java." "We teamed up with Rod Johnson and the
Spring community more than a year ago, and it was clear then that they
had cracked the code on simplifying enterprise Java," said Wai Wong,
executive vice president products at BEA. "By working together we have
been able to bring the best of open source and BEA capabilities to a
rapidly growing joint customer base. We are looking forward to taking
this further with the innovative features introduced in Spring 2.0 and
even closer collaboration between BEA and Interface21." |
