Enterprise Java update readied

02.05.2006
The enterprise version of the Java programming language is expected to get a boost this week, with approval of the Java EE (Enterprise Edition) 5 specification anticipated from the Java Community Process, according to a representative at Sun Microsystems.

Release of the actual code for Java EE 5 is due in the same timeframe as the JavaOne technical conference in San Francisco, which begins on May 16.

Accelerating Java development is a key theme of version 5. Sun will conduct a technical preview of Java EE 5 this Thursday in Menlo Park, Calif., with participation from Java licensees BEA Systems, IBM, JBoss, Oracle, and SAP.

The new version supports:

-- JavaServer Faces 1.2, for Web application development

-- EJB (Enterprise JavaBeans) 3.0, which is the latest version of the EJB technology for developing distributed, transactional, and portable applications on Java
