The Java Enterprise Edition technology (Java EE), defined by Oracle Microsystems, is becoming increasingly important when it comes to the creation of server applications. One reason for this is the universality of Java as a programming language, and the other is the component technology itself. This allows program segments to be put together like building blocks, regardless of whether they are components developed in-house or standard components widely available on the market. One example of this are e-commerce solutions, which consist partly of services developed in-house and partly of general services (shopping basket management system, for example).
openUTM is particularly suitable for use in environments with Java EE application servers because the BeanConnect product enables Java EE solutions to be optimally integrated into openUTM-based solutions.
BeanConnect is an adapter that is based on the Java Connector Architecture (JCA) of Oracle and that supports standardized connection of openUTM applications to Java EE application servers, in particular to Oracle’s application server. Other application servers such as IBM's WebSphere can also be used as well, but in this case a separate service package needs to be purchased due to differences between the application servers.
