The Java System Application Server delivers comprehensive
Web services support across a broad spectrum of Web and
enterprise application requirements, featuring standardsbased, leading-edge technology that can be integrated with
enterprise and legacy applications to achieve cost savings
and competitive advantage.
Delivers the Platform for Web Services
The Java System Application Server provides
the industry's first delivery of an integrated
Java Web Services Pack in a high-performance,
scalable, and reliable J2EE application platform.
The Java Web Services Pack includes the Java
API for XML Messaging (JAXM), Java API for
XML Processing (JAXP), Java API for XML Registries (JAXR), and Java API for XML-based RPC
(JAX-RPC). The Java System Application Server
Unlike other commercially available application servers, the Java System Application
Server is built on the very platform that defines
the J2EE standard — J2EE 1.4 Reference Implementation source code. The same development
team that delivers the J2EE 1.4 Reference Implementation developed the Java System Application Server 8. This assures the most rigorous
J2EE standard compliance and Web services
interoperability through support of the WS-I
Basic Profile. Enterprises and application vendors
benefit from this J2EE standard-focused approach
because it reduces the risks of proprietary lockin, and enables compliant applications that are
portable across compliant application servers
— without costly modifications.
The Java System Application Server 8 is also
available in Standard and Enterprise Editions,
providing additional features such as higher
performance and load balancing as well clustering and monitoring capabilities. The Java
System Application Server is designed to help
enterprises and service providers maximize their
freedom of choice through Java technology's

supports both SOAP and WSDL specifications,
providing a complete Web services infrastructure, and also provides comprehensive support
for the WS-I Basic Profile, making it easier to
deliver interoperable Web Services.
Using the powerful SPIs, the Java System
Application Server can easily integrate new and
emerging Web services features without having
to upgrade the application server. Enterprises
and service providers can make their own services available to their customers and partners,
or even provide application-to-application
integration by taking advantage of the included
Web services capabilities.
The Java System Application Server delivers
a high-performance Java Message Service (JMS)
provider for message-based integration. It supports the updated J2EE Connector Architecture
for superior access to enterprise applications,
and integrates easily with the proven Java System Directory Server (formerly Sun ONE Directory
Server) for identity management; the J2EE technology-based, industry-leading Java System
Portal Server (formerly Sun ONE Portal Server);
and the JMS API-compatible Sun ONE Integration Server. This comprehensive integration
across products helps deliver the scalability,
reliability, and security that today's demanding
24x7 application services and Web services
require.
