It has gone from little wireless devices right up through the ranks of the enterprise with the ceiling of its success still out of sight. Sun's Ed Zander told the keynote audience at JavaOne that there's still much work to be done, including making Java invisible.

Sun has kept its research and development budget intact and was not cutting back on Java support, executives said at JavaOne. SOURCE: Reuters http://siliconvalley.com/docs/news/tech/083258.htm =============================================== [2.] "Sun promotes Java on Cobalt servers" Sun introduced a developer kit for its Cobalt servers that makes it easier to use Java software on servers that deliver Web pages, the company said. The kit comes with features that let the servers run Java programs called servlets and deliver custom Web pages using the Java Server Pages software, Sun said. These technologies are built into an open-source software package that ships with new Cobalt servers. SOURCE: CNET http://news.cnet.com/news/0-1003-200-6186296.html =============================================== [3.] "IPlanet expands Web services" IPLANET, the company formed by Sun and Netscape, has upgraded two of its e-commerce Web services applications, including the addition of a feature that enables automatic transactions to occur if pre-set conditions are met. The upgrades are designed to bolster iPlanet's Commerce Services Portfolio, a set of Java-based e-commerce applications, and a component of Sun's Open Net Environment. The upgrades will be available this month. SOURCE: InfoWorld http://idg.net/ic_591110_1773_1-3921.html =============================================== [4.] "Middleware that beats the budget" A number of open source Java application servers offer comparable capabilities at a fraction of the cost of big name products from IBM, BEA and others. Some very capable open-source application servers, such as Enhydra and JBoss/Server, are free. "Going beyond mere Java servlet engines geared for dynamic Web sites and database front ends, these Java 2 Enterprise Edition-compliant servers are suitable for high-volume transaction processing as well as application and data integration," says this review.

But a top Vatican official says the document will also explain that online confessions are out of the question.
