Application Server platform, an evaluation edition of the iPlanet Application Server, and a web site for developers to learn, share and exchange information related to industry-standard technologies and iPlanet products. This new offering provides developers with the tools, access to software and components needed to rapidly build and implement
enterprise-class applications.
"Developers are instrumental to the iPlanet strategy of providing a complete software platform for the delivery of next generation e-business applications," said Duncan Bennet, Managing Director, of iPlanet E-Commerce Solutions in Australia/New Zealand. "iPlanet is committing significant resources to its developer community, including a broad EJB component library that will dramatically accelerate the next wave of Internet computing, including J2EE, Extensible Markup Language (XML), Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP), and Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP)."
In addition to offering critical products for improved developer productivity, iPlanet also provides developers with a community web site where they can network with one another and iPlanet engineers, share technical tips, gain early code access, and obtain technical content ranging from free Web-based training to application server sizing guides. iPlanet developer resources are available through the new iPlanet developer site at <http://developer.iplanet.com/>. New developer resources now available, include:
* iPlanet Developer Pack
The iPlanet Developer Pack, Enterprise Edition 6.0 improves developer productivity by combining a development license of the iPlanet Application Server, Forte(tm) for Java(tm) Internet Edition 2.0 trial software, WebGain Studio 4.1 trial software, and their respective optimised plug-in modules. This new offering allows developers to test, develop and deploy Java(tm) applications with leading Integrated Development Environments (IDEs).
* EJB Component Library
To enable developers to take advantage of EJB component benefits, leading EJB component vendors, including ComponentSource, Compoze Software, Diamelle Technologies, Evergreen Internet, Flashline, and Omix, have teamed with iPlanet to provide customers with components that span a wide range of business functionality. With more than 120 components now running on the iPlanet Application Server, customers can now select from a wide range of powerful components, including those for order management, groupware and collaboration, catalogue management, customer relationship management, and financial services.
"By adhering to the EJB specification of the J2EE standard, Compoze is able to provide customers with the most advanced collaborative and community functionality for building eCRM applications while protecting against
proprietary solution lock-in," said Jeff Sposetti, CEO of Compoze.
"Compoze's EJB Components, coupled with the iPlanet Application Server, provide a superior environment for developing and deploying enterprise applications."
Evaluation Version of iPlanet Application Server
The test drive version of the iPlanet Application Server, Enterprise Edition provides developers a self-contained environment to build, test, deploy and evaluate J2EE applications on top of the iPlanet Application Server. This evaluation version contains an embedded database as well as a complete evaluator's guide with installation instructions, feature walkthrough and sample code, designed to promote a richer developer evaluation experience. The test drive edition of iPlanet Application Server software is immediately available for free download at
