SAP NetWeaver Achieves Java EE 5 Compatibility

SAP AG has achieved Java Platform, Enterprise Edition (Java EE) 5 compatibility, which means that SAP customers and partners can develop Java applications on the SAP NetWeaver platform using the latest technology standards. SAP NetWeaver has been providing support for Java technology since 2003.

The design goals of Java EE were to streamline features to the platform, thereby improving performance. For SAP customers and partners developing applications on the SAP NetWeaver platform, compatibility of SAP NetWeaver Application Server with Java EE 5 can enable them to speed time to market with enterprise Service-Orientated Architecture (enterprise SOA) based applications and reduce overall Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).

SAP is an active contributor to the Java Community Process (JCP) and a member of the JCP SE/EE Executive Committee. SAP contributes to more than 50 Java Specification Requests (JSRs) that drive Web services, portals and user interface technology, systems and content management, virtual machine technology, Java supportability, and more.
