Security perhaps seems to the ultimate concern of any enterprise environment. And considering this, SpringSource CEO Rod Johnson, feels that the future of enterprise java is clear and bright simply because, SpringSource Application Platform redefines the way in which Java applications are deployed and run.

SpringSource, the company behind the ubiquitous Spring Portfolio, today announced the release of the SpringSource Application Platform, a powerful and highly flexible enterprise Java application server that provides a dramatically simpler alternative to legacy application servers and redefines the way in which Java applications are deployed and run.

SpringSource Application Platform is an application platform, built on OSGi (Open Services Gateway initiative), which can resolve Spring bean references by looking up services through OSGi. It features application and resource library upgrades, side-by-side version deployments, as well as application monitoring and analysis from URL throughput to query, cache and transaction statistics.

“The future of enterprise Java is clear and bright, with leaner, more powerful solutions increasingly being used in both development and production,” said Rod Johnson.

Built in accordance with Spring’s longstanding standards of simplicity, flexibility and power, the SpringSource Application Platform offers significant benefits to developers, operations and management.

According to the company the SpringSource Application Platform enables repeated incremental deployments without server restarts, shortening iterative development-test cycles and providing an ideal platform for agile development approaches.

The SpringSource Application Platform comprised of the dm-Kernel, along with the Spring, Eclipse Equinox and Apache Tomcat technologies inside, to provide the leanest and flexible server for running enterprise Java applications.

“The combination of an OSGi container and the Apache Tomcat servlet engine offers a different model for designing and deploying applications and services written in Java,” Joe Niski and Kirk Knoernschild, analysts with Burton Group said.

SpringSource Application Platform will be generally available in June 2008 under the GPL open source license and is available now in beta for download on the SpringSource website.
