PR Newswire (US)
Leveraging Java EE 5 Features for the Construction and Deployment
of SOA Services SHANGHAI, China, Dec. 13 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
BEAWorld -- BEA Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:BEAS), a world leader in
enterprise infrastructure software, today announced a preview
release for WebLogic Server(R) 10.3 of SCA, a set of open standards
that can help enable developers to leverage SOA to assemble
composite applications from heterogeneous components. This release
demonstrates BEA's commitment to helping the Java EE developer with
development and deployment of enterprise-grade SOA projects. BEA
SCA tooling will be supported through BEA Workshop(TM) and the
ability to store SCA components in an enterprise repository with
AquaLogic(R) Enterprise Repository. SCA is designed to facilitate
highly adaptable IT by wrapping and standardizing heterogeneous
components, making them more easily discovered and connected. It
will be deployed as part of BEA WebLogic Server, allowing
organizations to draw upon the server's management, reliability and
scalability benefits for SCA. "BEA has taken the industry a huge
leap forward by making application composition viable," said Guy
Churchward, vice president of WebLogic products, BEA Systems, Inc.
"We are focused on helping to enable customers to realize the full
potential of WebLogic products and SOA. BEA established itself as
the enterprise Java leader in being the first major vendor to
market with Java EE 5, and we're doing it again for application
composition with Service Component Architecture." In support of
BEA's Genesis, a dynamic business application platform initiative
that promotes the convergence of SOA, Business Process Management
(BPM) and enterprise social computing, SCA can provide the ability
to compose applications by assembling components without writing
code. SCA is a fundamental enabling technology designed to wrap and
standardize heterogeneous components making them more easily
discovered and connected -- characteristics that are critical for
composition. SCA can help enable organizations that have invested
in SOA to take full advantage of the architecture. With application
composition, building SOA services is faster, easier and more
reliable; a process manageable not only by developers but business
users as well. BEA SCA is designed to enable organizations to
rapidly assemble SOA services through: -- Reduced Complexity.
Develop distributed service networks using plain old Java objects
(POJOs). The complexities of transport level APIs are handled by
SCA metadata and wire-up facilities. -- Tooling support. BEA
Workshop offers a single tool for users to find, create, submit,
view, and configure SCA components. The Eclipse plug- ins allow
direct access to BEA AquaLogic Enterprise Repository from within
the environment, allowing users to work with SCA artifacts quickly
and easily. -- Repository capabilities. BEA AquaLogic Enterprise
Repository promotes easy access to SCA components in store for
quick assembly. The SCA runtime technology preview for WebLogic
Server is available today as a free download. BEA SCA and its
tooling and repository support will be released in the second half
of 2008. For more information, please visit
