BBj in the Future
|
|
As part of our Quality Focus Period, we are evaluating a number of our technology offerings so that we can focus more on technologies that align with the industry emphasis we have begun seeing on mobi
le and distributed application environments. Now that BBJSP has been included in our BBj releases for several years, it has become obvious that it does not offer any unique functionality or capability that cannot be offered as well, or better, via web services, web servlets, or some combination of web-related features that are readily available from BBj and its Jetty web server.
Given that conclusion, BASIS is officially announcing that
BBJSP is not a core component of our web technology offerings. The only component under the BBJSP label that will continue to be strategic is the BBJSP Servlet. BASIS will be committing its development resources to other web-based technologies, and will not be actively developing or supporting BBJSP features or functionality. Correspondingly, please do not use BBJSP to build web-based solutions for your business needs. Please contact your sales representative if you would like to discuss how you can instead build web solutions using BBj's forward-looking features.
