SAP NetWeaver Application Server, Java EE 5 Edition
At the May 2006 JavaOne conference, SAP, together with other vendors, showcased a preview of the new Java EE 5-compliant SAP NetWeaver application server, which contained a subset of Java EE 5 specifications.
The JavaOne preview exemplified the server’s powerful capabilities and its adoption of plugins that are widely accepted by the Java community.
The server was accompanied by SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio based on the open-source development tools from Eclipse 3. It featured Eclipse Web Tools Platform (WTP) plug-ins for Web and Java development rather than SAP’s own proprietary tool solutions, highlighting the open-standards approach of the new application server.
Now, a fully compliant demo version, which has evolved beyond the JavaOne preview version to contain all Java EE 5 specifications, is available for download from the SAP Developer Network at https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/downloaditem?rid=/library/uuid/cfc19866-0401-0010-35b2-dc8158247fb6. The new server is the predecessor for the next release of SAP NetWeaver and is designed to integrate seamlessly with previous SAP NetWeaver installations.
With the SAP NetWeaver Application Server (SAP NetWeaver AS), Java EE 5 Edition, you can develop Java EE applications based on the new Java EE 5 standard as well as migrate existing J2EE applications.
