Sun Microsystems Inc’s JavaSoft will next month outline an enterprise development framework for Java that takes the language beyond the client and down to the server, US PC Week reports. The architecture, to be outlined at the JavaOne Developers’ Conference in San Francisco, will be built on the JavaBeans object-oriented component architecture; a Servelet for creating server-side applications; and a series of application programming interfaces from JavaSoft and third party vendors for transaction services, messaging and directory services, the trade weekly hears. It says that within the framework, developers will be able to build middle-tier Java applications by linking JavaBeans components and connect the applications to extend back-end and legacy applications.
