Solved: SAP implementation of Java EE 6.0

Former Member · ‎12-07-2009

Hi!

Does anybody know whether or not SAP will implement next Java Enterprise Edition 6.0 with its NetWeaver Application Server? Any SAP guru around that could give just a hint on that matter?

I mean SAP is always talking about planning reliability, so we should at least know if the Java developers in our company working in SAP ERP environment (Portal, JCo) have to engage in new EEs features or not. If SAP doesn' t continue its position as Java EE vendor, we have to realign our Java strategy.

Best Regards,

Thomas

Dear Thomas and all other who wish to get enlightened

it was always and it is our plan to make current standards like the Java Enterprise Edition available to our customers through the SAP NetWeaver platform. As planning and specifically the announcement of such plans is a legal mine field, nobody is mad about going into forums and telling the world. Because of this I also only can tell you what is planned currently and that plans may be dropped at any time on any purpose without further notice. I you want a legal binding answer, please refer to legal.

OK, so much about formalism. What is concretely there is that we are short to start the ramp up for 7.20. Because of this it should be no surprise that there cannot be any Java EE 6.0 in there. Also the succeeding product of 7.20 will not include Java EE 6, as it is currently built.

With the availability of Java EE6 it now is time to introduce it to our development, but there are no plans available (one week after release of the standard) that would tell us when this standard will be part of the product.

Regards,

Benny

Thomas,

I think that is already there, please see the details below.

General APIs

The Java EE APIs includes several technologies that extend the functionality of the base Java SE APIs.

javax.ejb.*

The Enterprise JavaBean's 1st and 2nd API defines a set of APIs that a distributed object container will support in order to provide persistence, remote procedure calls (using RMI or RMI-IIOP), concurrency control, and access control for distributed objects. This package contains the Enterprise JavaBeans classes and interfaces that define the contracts between the enterprise bean and its clients and between the enterprise bean and the ejb container.abd

javax.transaction.*

These packages define the Java Transaction API (JTA).

javax.xml.stream

This package contains readers and writers for XML streams.

javax.jms.*

This package defines the Java Message Service (JMS) API. The JMS API provides a common way for Java programs to create, send, receive and read an enterprise messaging system's messages.

javax.resource.*

This package defines the Java EE Connector Architecture API. Java EE Connector Architecture (JCA) is a Java-based technology solution for connecting application servers and enterprise information systems (EIS) as part of enterprise application integration (EAI) solutions.

javax.faces.component.html

This package defines the JavaServer Faces (JSF) API. JSF is a technology for constructing user interfaces out of components.

javax.persistence

This package contains the classes and interfaces that define the contracts between a persistence provider and the managed classes and the clients of the Java Persistence API.
