Key Technical Benefits

  • Open Source, Community Driven
  • Unified environment
  • Comprehensive software stack
  • Improve application portability and interoperability

Open Source, Community Driven

Sun engineers work with open source communities to develop innovations for SOA, giving developers transparency and early access to new technology. This allows developers to contribute to and influence future product enhancements.


Unified Environment

Provides a common development, deployment, management, and monitoring environment across all integration components within the software suite, saving IT budget and staff maintenance time compared to separate point solutions.


Comprehensive Software Stack

In one environment, you get composite application integration products layered on top of infrastructure products. All are supported by a proven set of end-to-end graphical tools that deliver optimized source code for standards-based collaboration and business process execution. Developers can operate on the graphical model or directly on source code that is synchronized with the graphical model.


Improve Application Portability and Interoperability

Because Sun's approach to SOA is based on industry standards, such as WS-I Basic Profile, WSRP, BPEL, Liberty, and Services Registry, developers can integrate, share, and reuse legacy, Java EE, and .NET resources and work in the language or platform they want without regard to the user environment.

Customer Perspective

"The Sun Java Composite Application Platform Suite provided us with a single development environment for all elements of our integration work, from developing adapters through to mapping business processes all based on SOA principles and standards."
