  • Web services for J2EE specification (JSR 109) that defines deployment requirements for Web services and utilizes the JAX-RPC programming model.
  • Platform Web services interoperability via the WS-I Basic Profile 1.0.
  
  
• Leverage existing assets with new functions with Java Connector Architecture (JCA) 1.5:
  • Resource adapters provide bidirectional connectivity (synchronous and asynchronous) between EISs (Enterprise Information Systems) and J2EE-comliant applications.
  • JMS pluggability allows customer to use existing database software instead of a closed, proprietary means to provide message persistence.
  
  
• Take advantage of server enhancements that enable faster, easier development with new Java Servlet and Java Server Pages (JSP) technologies:
  • Servlets now support request listeners and enhanced filters.
  • Simplified JSP technology page and extension development models make it easier than ever for developers to build JSP-enabled pages.

J2EE1.4 specification include number of improvements to the existing technology including:

• Java Servlet 2.4
• JavaServer Pages (JSP) 2.0
• Enterprise Java Beans (EJB) 2.1
• Java Message Service (JMS) 1.1
