Executive Summary
The major application server platforms (ASPs) are evolving to address both requirements rooted in the past and new requirements for service-oriented applications. For today's needs, ASPs and their associated development and management tools must make it easier to build simple Web applications, and to build and run large and complex ones with a high quality of service at efficient costs. The future of this product category will be defined by service-oriented architecture (SOA) programming models for composite applications, rapid application change driven by metadata management, and business events. BEA Systems, IBM, Microsoft, Oracle, RedHat/JBoss, SAP, and Sun Microsystems are evolving their platforms in different ways and at different paces to meet these new requirements. Here is what the next generation of these platforms will look like.
