06/01/2009
Red Hat announced the JBoss "Open Choice" application platform strategy, which aims to provide a single environment for deploying a variety of programming models with a common platform, making it easier to develop and deploy applications.
ebizq received the following:
At the heart of the JBoss Open Choice strategy is the JBoss Microcontainer, a new application platform architecture that isolates core enterprise
class platform services from the variety of container and framework choices
available today. The JBoss Open Choice strategy is intended to enable
customers to embrace the latest innovations of the Java community today and
represent an investment in the future as it will seek to accommodate the
next wave of changes to Java for the enterprise.
With JBoss Open Choice, Red Hat plans to provide application developers
with the ability to choose the framework, language and programming
technologies that best fit the application requirements they are trying to
achieve without sacrificing reliability, availability, scalability or
manageability across their projects.
This means JBoss Enterprise Middleware customers will have an opportunity to take advantage of popular programming models such as Spring, Seam, Struts, Google Web Toolkit and Java Enterprise Edition across their products and still enjoy uniformity of management and enterprise-class reliability in the platform. The strategy is expected to employ a number of new JBoss application platform products, built on a common architecture and designed to address customers' unique application deployment needs without the complex dependencies of traditional Java EE application server products.
"With an uncertain future and the ever-changing world of Java, the JBoss Open Choice strategy is designed to provide customers with the confidence, to choose the programming and deployment model that works for them without sacrificing performance," said Craig Muzilla, vice president, Middleware, Red Hat. "Despite all of the market shifts, Red Hat aims to remain a trusted source for valuable and innovative solutions in the Java market."
