“… BullSoft… announced … that it will make the source code
of its implementation of Enterprise JavaBeans(tm) (EJB)
specifications available using an open-source licensing model.
“… BullSoft is increasing its focus on the development of
innovative middleware and open-sourced software, based on the
success achieved notably with Java(tm) and Linux(tm) market
developments.”
“The Enterprise JavaBeans specifications
(http://java.sun.com/products/ejb) define an architecture and
interfaces for developing and deploying distributed Java server
applications based on a multi-tier architecture. These
specifications intend to facilitate and normalize the development,
deployment and assembly of application components (called
enterprise beans); such components will be deployable on EJB
platforms. The resulting applications will be typically multi-user
transactional and database-oriented, and secured, scalable and
portable.
“The BullSoft platform for EJB is a pure Java implementation of
the EJB 1.0 specifications.”
