The JBoss Enterprise SOA Platform includes service oriented architecture (SOA) open source middleware such as JBoss Enterprise Service Bus (ESB), JBoss jBPM, JBoss Rules and the JBoss Enterprise Application Platform to integrate applications, services, transactions, and business components into automated business processes.
Service oriented architectures are not about building a grand software vision, says JBoss.
InfoWorld recently awarded the Best Open Source Software for the Enterprise (aka the 2007 InfoWorld Bossies).
JBoss Enterprise Middleware is an extensible and scalable suite of products for creating and deploying e-business applications, offering cutting-edge technology components which customers can mix-and-match and roll out into their line of business infrastructure - all at zero-cost software licenses.
"We have been waiting for that day for a long time. Too long certainly. But here we are, the community version of JBoss.org AS 5.0 just got released.Our foundations are now ready to absorb the changes the Java landscape will go through in the next 5 years.
