This new application server is IBM's
first server software product to include support for the J2EE (Java
2 Enterprise Edition) platform. It also supports a variety of open standards
such as XML, UDDI, SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol), and EJB (Enterprise
JavaBeans), an architecture for building reusable applications deployed
from a server to an entire network.
