SAP has upgraded its Web Application Server to support
J2EE (Java 2 Enterprise Edition) Version 1.3 and introduced a new
Java development environment.
The company is trying to drive adoption of its NetWeaver
integration and application environment within the Java
community.
The integrated development environment, SAP NetWeaver Developer
Studio, has been developed as an open environment for Java-based
applications, and is based on the open-source Eclipse platform.
SAP has also established integration and certification centres
where third-party J2EE applications can be deployed and tested on
the SAP Web Application Server. The centres will also test
integration scenarios between SAP software and third-party
applications.
