Red Hat Drives Java EE Forward

Moving Beyond Proprietary Frameworks with Java EE 6


The complexity of earlier versions of J2EE brought about the rise of development frameworks, such as Spring Framework™, that compensated for J2EE's shortcomings. However, they required excessive configuration and proprietary API's.

Java EE 6 standards and technologies, such as JSR 299 - Contexts & Dependency Injection, significantly reduce complexity, increase developer productivity and insure your freedom from vendor lock-in. Using Java EE can be even simpler than using proprietary legacy frameworks, and take much less time.

Red Hat has driven the Java EE specification forward to make it much simpler to adopt, and easier to extend, in a standard way. In fact, JBoss core developers were instrumental in establishing JSR 299, as well as over 30 other JSRs. Weld, the reference implementation of JSR 299, is part of the JBoss Seam Framework project.

Now, with the release of JBoss Application Server 7, you can experience Java EE 6 for yourself! Check out the blazing-fast speed, elegant administration and lightweight, modular core.

Whether you're developing modern web applications with Google Web Toolkit (GWT), RichFaces or JBoss Seam, or still maintaining legacy applications using Spring Framework or Apache Struts™, Red Hat will support those applications deployed on JBoss Enterprise Application Platforms. The JBoss Open Choice Strategy enables you to choose the development tools and frameworks that best suit your needs, without sacrificing operational performance or productivity.

Choice without compromise.
