ACTIVE ENDPOINTS, JBOSS ANNOUNCE BPEL DEVELOPMENT PLATFORM
Active Endpoints Inc and JBoss Inc announced that Active Endpoints has joined
the JBoss Marketing Affiliates Program. This partnership will allow Active
Endpoints and JBoss to offer a complete services-oriented integration platform
to organizations that wish to create composite applications using the BPEL
(Business Process Execution Language) standard.
Through the partnership, Active Endpoints will optimize its ActiveWebflow
server technology to support the JBoss Application Server's advanced
capabilities such as clustering, connection pooling and management. The
combined solution, ActiveWebflow Enterprise for JBoss, will include the
following key components:
- ActiveWebflow Professional: a visual, Eclipse-based design environment,
which allows information analysts to develop and test process flows that are
100 percent compatible with the BPEL 1.1 specification.
- ActiveWebflow Server for JBoss: an enterprise-class BPEL and J2EE runtime
environment that delivers secure, reliable, scalable execution of BPEL 1.1
processes.
- ActiveBPEL Engine: a small footprint, open source runtime environment that
delivers full BPEL 1.1 execution services to desktop and mobile computers that
do not require full J2EE capabilities. Note: the ActiveBPEL engine is also
available as an open source technology at www.activebpel.org/.
"The application infrastructure stack is rapidly evolving away from
proprietary implementations to standards-based, open source solutions," said
Marc Fleury, founder and CEO of JBoss Inc. "The combination of Active
Endpoints' sophisticated BPEL products with JBoss' stable, scalable J2EE
application server represents a potent, cost-effective solution for
organizations that are standardizing on BPEL. And the ActiveBPEL open source
engine demonstrates the market's inevitable transition toward professionally
managed, open source infrastructure technologies."
"ActiveWebflow Enterprise for JBoss represents the first solution to combine
best-in-class BPEL development and deployment technologies with the
market-leading JBoss Application Server", said Fred Holahan, president of
Active Endpoints Inc. "Using ActiveWebflow Enterprise for JBoss, customers
will be able to design, test, deploy and manage composite applications
rapidly, at the lowest costs, leveraging many existing IT skills."
