BEA PARTNERS WITH
ALTOVA
BEA Systems Inc, a leading application infrastructure software company, and
Altova Inc, the producer of XMLSPY 5, a leading XML development environment,
announced a new partnership to integrate XMLSPY 5 with BEA WebLogic Workshop
8.1. By combining the best-of-breed XML development tool with the
award-winning J2EE development environment, developers now have access to one
of the industry's most comprehensive solutions for building XML-based
applications and enterprise class Web services.
With this partnership, developers can now seamlessly integrate the XMLSPY5
environment with BEA WebLogic Workshop 8.1, an integrated development
environment that makes it easier for all classes of developers -- even those
new to Java or J2EE -- to build enterprise-class applications with
dramatically higher levels of productivity. Developers can use XMLSPY 5 to
edit XML files and define XML schema definitions for use in BEA WebLogic
Workshop. Combined with WebLogic Workshop's XMLBeans technology, developers
can now easily define the format of their XML data using XMLSPY and leverage
it within any BEA WebLogic Platform application. The new offering represents
BEA and Altova's continued commitment to drive the adoption of XML-based
technologies, open standards and service-oriented development with both
XMLSPY5 and the BEA WebLogic Platform 8.1. It also makes BEA WebLogic Workshop
8.1 and XMLSPY5 more easily available to BEA and Altova's combined developer
community -- offering increased choice to developers and enterprise customers
alike.
"We partnered with Altova in our WebLogic Workshop product offering to
simplify the development of XML and Web services-based applications, helping
to speed their development and overall industry adoption," said Byron
Sebastian, vice president and general manager of BEA WebLogic Workshop and BEA
WebLogic Portal for BEA Systems. "The integration of our respective tools
solidifies the BEA position as one of the most developer-friendly Web services
platform available."
"BEA and Altova share a common goal of empowering developers across the
board
to build Web service applications without the complexities, headaches and high
costs traditionally associated with such advanced development projects," said
Altova President and CEO Alexander Falk. "The integration of our respective
industry leading tools and server products greatly enhances developer
productivity, helping enable organizations to realize the benefits of
integrated business systems."
To educate developers on how to harness the power of XMLSPY 5 and BEA
WebLogic
Workshop, the companies are sponsoring a free, online Webinar from 9 a.m. to
10 a.m. on Wednesday. This technical session will cover an overview of the
XMLSPY 5 development environment, including a hands-on demonstration on how to
edit XML Schema and WSDL files for use in conjunction with BEA WebLogic
Workshop and BEA WebLogic Platform 8.1 to help enable enterprise-class
applications. For more information or to register for the Webinar, go to
