Sun Microsystems Inc. on Monday launched new products for building web services and infrastructure software for migrating toward a service-oriented architecture.
The announcements, made at the Santa Clara, Calif., company's 10th annual JavaOne Developer Conference in San Francisco, included an upgrade to Sun's Web Services Developer Pack, a preview of the Sun Java Studio Creator 2 visual development tool, the Sun Service Registry and the Sun Java Identity Management Suite. Sun billed the announcements as delivering on its strategy for helping companies build SOAs.
In adopting a SOA, an evolution in distributed computing for standards-based automation of business processes, the registry and identity suite solve some "real-world" problems, Jason Bloomberg, analyst for market researcher ZapThink LLC, said.
